La Clase Buckley de destructores escolta consistió en 102 buques botados en Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre 1943 y 1945. Sirvieron durante la SGM como escoltas de convoyes y buques de guerra antisubmarina.[1]​ Los buques se caracterizaron por tener motores turbo-eléctricos de General Electric, y ser prefabricados en múltiples factorías en EE. UU., enviando las partes listas para ser ensambladas en los astilleros, donde eran soldados directamente en la rampa de botadura.

Armamento

[editar]

Su armamento principal, estaba compuesto por tres cañones de 76,2 mm/50 Mk 22 de doble propósito, antisuperficie y antiaéreo, con alcance de ~14 600 yardas (13 400 m) a 45º y un techo de ~28 000 pies (8500 m), disponían además de una Artillería antiaérea compuesta por cuatro cañones Oerlikon de 28 mm (1.1") en la posición 'X' para la clase Buckley, que no estaban disponibles en las fragatas Clase Captain y ocho cañones Oerlikon de 20 mm sencillos, cuatro junto al puente tras la posición 'B', dos, uno de ellos a cada banda y dos a popa inmediatamente delante de los rieles de cargas de profundidad. Su armamento torpedero consistía en un montaje con tres tubos lanzatorpedos de 533 mm (21") Mark21 colocado delante de la chimenea. como armamento antisubmarino, contaba con un erizo antisubmarino de 24 tubos, en la cubierta principal adelante de la posición 'A' y unas 200 cargas de profundidad, que eran lanzadas por dos rieles dobles a popa, ccada uno de ellos con 24 cargas y 8 lanzadores K gun con 5 cargas, cuatro de ellos en cada banda. Las fragatas Clase Capitán extendieron estos lanzadores, cada uno con una capacidad de hasta 60 cargas.

Historial

[editar]

La clase Buckley fue la segunda iteración de destructores escolta, siendo la primera la Clase Evarts. Una de las mayores diferencias fue que el casco fue alargado significativamente para la Buckley; este diseño resultó tan exitoso, que todas las clases posteriores de destructores escolta lo utilizaron de allí en adelante. La clase era conocida también como el 'Tipo "TE"', por sus motores.

Fueron ordenados un total de 154, de los cuales 6 se completaron como transportes rápidos "APD". 37 adicionales fueron también convertidos posteriormente. 46 Buckleys se entregaron a la Marina Real Británica bajo el auspicio de la Ley de Préstamo y Arriendo; Estos 46 fueron ligeramente modificados por los ingleses y reclasificados como fragatas de la Clase Captain, por ser todos nombrados en conmemoración de capitanes de las Guerras Napoleónicas.

Después de la guerra, muchos de los buques sobrevivientes fueron transferidos a las Armadas de Taiwán, Chile, Corea del Sur, México, Colombia y otros países. El resto fueron transferidos a la flota de reserva de la Armada de los Estados Unidos donde permanecieron por varios años hasta su disposición final.

The fuel-efficient diesel-electric plant greatly improved the range of the CANNON class, but at the cost of speed.»
