USS Butternut (YAG-60)
USS ''Butternut'' (AN-9/YN-4/ANL-9/YAG-60) was laid down as a yard net tender on 11 March 1941 at Houghton, Washington, by the Lake Washington Shipyard; launched on 10 May 1941; and placed in service at the Puget Sound Navy Yard on 3 September 1941, Lieutenant Andreas S. Einmo, USNR, in charge.
After fitting out at Puget Sound the ship began service with the Inshore Patrol, 13th Naval District, early in October. She tended antisubmarine nets and performed minesweeping tasks until May 1942. On 13 May 1942, USS ''Butternut'' was placed in commission at Seattle, Washington, Lieutenant Andreas S. Einmo, USNR, in command.
== World War II Pacific Theater operations ==
The ship departed Seattle, Washington, on 17 May for a brief visit to San Francisco, California, until 1 June when she got underway for the southwestern Pacific. After escorting across the ocean, ''Butternut'' arrived in Nouméa, New Caledonia, on 27 June. For 18 months, she tended nets in the southwestern Pacific, first at New Caledonia, later in the New Hebrides, and then in the Solomons. Her active service was interrupted only by two repair periods — August and September 1943 at Port Chalmers, New Zealand, and November 1943 to February 1944 at Pearl Harbor.
During her overhaul at Pearl Harbor, she was reclassified a net laying ship and was redesignated AN-9. In January 1945, the ship steamed from the Solomons via Humboldt Bay, New Guinea, to Leyte in the Philippines. She spent the ensuing two years engaged in net and other district craft operations in the waters adjacent to the islands of Leyte and Samar.
