It was designed for anti-aircraft and anti-submarine warfare, playing a crucial role during World War II. The ship was equipped with advanced radar and weaponry, allowing it to protect larger vessels and engage enemy forces effectively. Commissioned on February 24, 1944, the USS Mobile served in the Pacific Theater, participating in key battles such as the Battle of Leyte Gulf. After the war, it was decommissioned in 1947 and later sold for scrap in 1970, marking the end of its service.
