The PC-1264 was built in 1943 at the Morris Heights Consolidated Shipyard, and commissioned into service in April 1944. She was one of 2 US Navy ships during WWII to have a entire enlisted crew made up of African Americans and served along the US Eastern Seaboard hunting U-Boats and protecting convoys. Following the War she was decommissioned and sold in March 1948 for scrap.
She was towed to Whitte Brothers Marine Scrap Yard in late 1948 and remains there today, slowly rusting away.
