Project history

Designing of minesweeper for protection of bases against mine danger was started after occurrence of 105-ft minesweeping boat in Britain. This ship has made good impression upon Americans, first of all by construction simplicity and cheapness. It has been decided to create for the USN the similar ship which can be built in big numbers by practically any small shipbuilder. First time they wished to built minesweeper in hull of 110-ft SC, however from similar thought rejected because of impossibility to place a diesel-generator necessary for magnetic sweep. The hull should be projected anew. For raise of seaworthiness short forecastle was provided. As well as in a case with SC, wood was chosen as construction material for building depreciation.

YMS class minesweepers were sectioned into three practically identical sub-classes, the basic difference between which consisted in number of funnels: on YMS1-134 they were two, on YMS135-445 and 481 one, and on remaining the funnel in general was absent. Britain additionally received 80 minesweepers (BYMS1-80), built specially for RN.

In years of war 20 YMS were lost.

Shortage of submarine chasers on early war stage, has compelled naval chiefs to undertake a number of emergency measures on overcoming of this crisis. The program of building of submarine chasers in hulls of minesweepers of YMS class became one of them. In June, 1942 the order for such 100 ships has followed. It was supposed to increase at the expense of removing of a diesel-generator a stock of fuel and to raise an endurance, to install the second 76mm gun, Hedgehog and increase to 52 DC stowage. However calculations have shown, that in this case the ship was overloaded and works were limited to adding of single 40mm Bofors and Mousetrap launchers.

Modernizations

late1944, YMS(C)38, 176, 311, 389, 390: were converted to amphibious command ships: - minesweeping gear

1.1946, YMS: 1 x 1 - 76/50 Mk 21/22, 2 x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10, 2 DCT, 2 DCR, mechanical, acoustic and magnetic minesweeping gear, SF or SO or SU radar

1951, Harkness, James M. Gillis; 1954, Gull, Merganser, Redhead, Sanderling, Waxbill, 1957, Bobolink, Bunting: were converted to minehunters: - 1 x 1 - 20/70, 2 DCT, 2 DCR, minesweeping gear; + FM sonar, diving equipment
