it states that there were 68 PCEs built for the US Navy and an additional 17 given away under lend-lease.

in the list below one can find

  • PCE-827 ... PCE-841 (15) given to Britain during WW2
  • PCE-842 ... PCE-860 (19)
  • PCE-867 ... PCE-886 (20)
  • PCE-891 ... PCE-904 (14)

makes 68 total

then there are 6 more

  • PCE-1604 ... PCE-1609 (laid down beginning 1952, war is over)

http://shipbuildinghistory.com/smallships/pc2.htm

lists the same information. these 68 boats have 640t displacement and 180feet length there and there are no others with that same displacement, except for 7 minesweepers (AM-232 ... AM-235, AM-356 .. AM-359), which are also listed on the navsource page

68 + 17 does not fit. it should read 53 for the US Navy and 15 lend lease to britain during the war — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.181.83.72 (talk) 11:34, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
