47k | The Du Pont (DD 152) on 21 August 1942 had completed modifications for convoy escort duties; the after stack has been deleted and the other three lowered, and the armament altered. In addition to new 3-inch guns and two torpedo mounts, the ship now had four 20-mm antiaircraft guns, two depth-charge racks, and six Mk 6 depth-charge mortars. | Joe Radigan | |

A year later, the ship had the stacks raised several feet to protect gunners from smoke fumes, a new-model surface-search radar installed, and a mast added aft to support the high-frequency radio direction finder antenna. | Joe Radigan | |
