The ships had <a href="/wiki/General_Electric" title="General Electric">General Electric</a> steam turbo-electric drive <a href="/wiki/Engine" title="Engine">engines</a>.

They were very similar to the <a href="/wiki/Buckley-class_destroyer_escort" title="Buckley-class destroyer escort"><i>Buckley</i> class</a>, having the same hull and machinery. The main differences were the <i>Rudderow</i>s had two 5-inch (127 mm) enclosed guns and two twin-<a href="/wiki/Bofors_40_mm_Automatic_Gun_L/60" class="mw-redirect" title="Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/60">40 mm</a> mounts, instead of the three 3-inch (76 mm) open guns and one twin-40 mm or <a href="/wiki/1.1-inch/75-caliber_gun" title="1.1-inch/75-caliber gun">one quad</a> 1.1-inch (28 mm) mount of the <i>Buckley</i>s. Another major difference is the style of the configuration of the area of the bridge and pilothouse which is low and enclosed compared to the Buckley Class which is tall and enclosed. The Rudderow Class is similar to the John C. Butler Class in this case and a distinguishing feature between these two class DEs is the size and number of the portholes in the pilothouse. The Rudderow class has seven 16-inch portholes and the John C. Butler Class has nine 12-inch portholes, with both classes having three portholes facing the bow. The class was also known as the TEV type from their Turbo-Electric drive and 5-inch (V) guns.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The final 180 of the class were canceled near the end of the war.
