Whatever is the correct class name, those sturdy ships saw an extensive Atlantic service from the initial stages of the war, being employed in a variety of roles, from coastal guard to convoy protection. They were some of the most effective US ASW vessels too.

I am surprised that no one has modelled them before, though the lack of detailed plans with hull lines might be part of the answer.
Today, by pure chance, I came across very good plans of Duane, a ship of the Treasury class:

If you don't intend to model her, I think I will do it myself. I really like this ship.
