The USS Phoebe (AMc-57) was a minesweeper ship used by the United States Navy during World War II. It was originally built as a coastal minesweeper with the purpose of clearing sea mines laid by enemy forces. The ship was commissioned in June 1941 and was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet for operations along the East Coast of the United States. During its service, the USS Phoebe participated in convoy escort duties and mine clearance operations in various locations, including the Caribbean Sea. The ship's operations were crucial in protecting allied vessels from the threat of sea mines, which were a significant hazard during wartime. The USS Phoebe had a crew of officers and enlisted personnel who worked together to ensure the ship's effectiveness in carrying out its duties. The ship's service history highlights the important role that minesweepers played in naval operations during World War II, particularly in safeguarding sea lanes and supporting allied forces. After the war, the USS Phoebe was decommissioned and eventually sold for scrap. Its service and contributions to the war effort serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by naval personnel and the importance of minesweepers in maintaining maritime security.
