The Eagle-class patrol craft were anti-submarine vessels of the United States Navy that were built during World War I using mass production techniques. The submarine chasers’ range of about 900 miles (1,400 km) at a cruising speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) restricted their operations to off-shore anti-submarine work and denied them an open-ocean escort capability; their high consumption of gasoline and limited fuel storage were handicaps the Eagle class sought to remedy. They were originally commissioned USS Eagle Boat No. 1 or 2,3.. But this was changed to PE-1 or 2,4.. They never officially saw combat in World War I, but some were used during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. PE-19, 27, 32, 38, 48 and 55-57 survived to be used in World War II. Attention turned to building steel patrol vessels. Accordingly, a design was developed by the Bureau of Construction and Repair which was sufficiently simplified to permit speedy construction by less experienced shipyards.
