The SC-497 -class submarine chasers were a class of 438 submarine chasers built primarily for the United States Navy from 1941–1944. The SC-497 s were based on the experimental submarine chaser, USS SC-453 . Submarine chasers of this variety were collectively nicknamed "the splinter fleet" due to their wooden hulls.
