The Evarts, completed in 1943-44, were the U.S. Navy's first attempt at a destroyer escort. The Navy had discussed constructing small, inexpensive destroyers for convoy escort before the war, but there was reluctance to build what were viewed as second-class destroyers. However, British experienced in 1940 made it clear that great numbers of vessels were required for escort duty. In June 1941 the British military mission requested 100 vessels based on a U.S. Navy conceptual design for a 280' (85m) ship with two 5"/38 dual-purpose guns and a triple torpedo bank, as well as extensive antisubmarine gear, capable of 24 knots.

Because of shortages of both 5"/38 guns and machinery, the Evarts were armed with 3"/50 guns instead, which were adequate against surfaced submarines, the destroyer escort's prey. The ships used diesel engines which proved badly underpowered, giving a maximum speed far short of the desired 24 knots. However, the antisubmarine gear was generous and regularly updated with the latest improvements. The class was infamous for its pronounced tendency to roll.

Astonishingly, none were lost during the war.
