Loyang
USS Benson, the lead ship of her class, was built at the Fore River Shipyard. In 1940 and 1941, she served in so-called Neutrality Patrols. Once the U.S. entered World War II, USS Benson escorted convoys in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and supported the landings of the Allied forces in Italy. In 1945, the ship was transferred to the Pacific, where she escorted American aircraft carriers during operations against Midway Atoll. For her service during the war, she was awarded four battle stars. In 1954, she was handed over to the Republic of China, where she was renamed Loyang.
