Destroyer Escorts: World War II Era, Ships E to J

Following is a list of U.S. Destroyer Escorts commissioned during the World War II era. Many of these ships were in service for a relatively short period of time, and others were converted to different types of ships, were re-commissioned and returned to active duty. These ships contained a variety of asbestos-containing products. Exposure to these products can cause asbestos-related diseases including pleural disease, asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Although some ships were ultimately sold to foreign governments, many were scrapped in the U.S., putting workers who disassembled the ships at risk for disease as well.
