Submarine Chaser (SC)
Index


Five hundred eighty SC-497 Class wood-hulled, 110-foot Submarine Chasers (SC) were built during World War II, with 142 of these being used by our Allies under the Lend-Lease Program. The origin of the WW II Submarine Chaser traces back to WW I and the 440 ship SC-1 Class wooden-hulled "Splinter Fleet." The SC was designed for off-shore patrols and anti-submarine warfare. They were one of many weapons used to defeat the Nazi U-Boat menace along the Atlantic seaboard. The SC also played a role in Amphibious Landing, both in Europe and the Pacific. Seventy SCs were converted for use as Beach Control Craft and designated Control Submarine Chasers (SCC).
