Although she was designed as a patrol craft, she was reconfigured and employed as a weather station ship in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The third U.S Navy ship to be so named, Beaufort (PF-59) laid down on 21 July 1943 at Superior, Wisconsin, by the Globe Shipbuilding Co. under a U.S. Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 1466); launched on 9 October 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Elma G. Rodgers; accepted by the Navy on 8 July 1944.
