Descripton: USS Frost: U-Boat Killer is a true detailed chronology of documented events, presented as gathered from historical data and as witnessed by the author and other crew members. This book records the fascinating and significant history of the destroyer escort USS Frost DE-144 and her crew during World War II from commissioning in 1943 to decommissioning in 1946. The USS Frost was the flagship of an anti-submarine warfare hunter-killer group operating mainly in the North Atlantic. This chronicle is documented by the Frost Action Reports, War Diaries, and Deck Logs and further confirmed by receiving the "Presidential Unit Citation" and Seven Battle Stars: "For exceptionally meritorious achievement in the performance of outstanding combat service against enemy forces in the Atlantic Ocean area while sinking 5 German U-boats, the U-488, U-490, U-154, U-1235 and U-880."
