This is a list of destroyer escorts of the United States Navy, listed both by hull number and by name. It includes the hull classification symbols DE (both Destroyer Escort and Ocean Escort), DEG, and DER.
In 1975, ships that were classified DE or DEG were reclassified as FF or FFG (frigates). This affected hull numbers DE-1037 and higher as well as all DEGs.
