USS PC-545, 1942-1944

USS PC-545, a 173-foot submarine chaser built at Bay City, Michigan, was commissioned in late June 1942. She served in the Atlantic and Mediterranean for more than two years, participating in the Sicily and Salerno invasions in July-September 1943, the Anzio-Nettuno landings in January-February 1944 and the Southern France invasion in August and September 1944.

PC-545 was loaned to the French Navy in October 1944 and renamed Goumier. Formally sold to France in 1949, she was again transferred in June 1960, this time to Morocco, in whose service she was named Agadir. She was returned to France in August 1964 and sold for scrapping in November 1965.

This page features our only view of USS PC-545.
