The Destroyer Escort Historical Museum, located in Albany, NY, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the 563 Destroyer Escorts that served valiantly during World War II, protecting convoys from Nazi U-boats in the Atlantic and defending naval task forces from Japanese submarines and air attacks in the Pacific. The centerpiece of the museum is the USS SLATER, the only remaining Destroyer Escort afloat in the United States, which has undergone extensive restoration to return it to its former glory.

The museum offers guided tours, youth group overnight camping, and a venue for naval reunions, all supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and donations. Through educational programs and events, the museum aims to honor the history of these ships and their crews while engaging the public in the preservation of naval heritage.
