USS Exultant (AM-441)
USS ''Exultant'' (AM-441/MSO-441) was an ''Aggressive''-class minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of removing mines that had been placed in the water to prevent the safe passage of ships.
The second ship to be named ''Exultant'' by the Navy, ''AM-441'' was launched 6 June 1953 by Higgins, Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana; sponsored by Miss A. Brooks, and commissioned 22 June 1954, Lieutenant R. T. Gregory in command. She was reclassified ''MSO-441'' on 7 February 1955.
== East Coast operations ==
''Exultant'' first tied up at Charleston, South Carolina, her home port and headquarters for the Mine Force, Atlantic Fleet, 23 July 1954. Along with the coastwise training operations vital to maintaining her readiness, she cruised to the Mediterranean to serve with the U.S. 6th Fleet in 1955, 1957–1958, and 1959-1960. During all of these tours of duty, she exercised with ships of other NATO navies, joined in fleet operations, and visited a large variety of Mediterranean ports.
In both 1956 and 1957, ''Exultant'' spent a month in northern waters, in 1956 exercising with minesweepers of the Royal Canadian Navy out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in 1957, participating in cold weather sweeping operations out of Argentia, Newfoundland. Her other activities through July 1960 included fleet operations in the Caribbean, as well as individual training there, amphibious exercises on the beaches of North Carolina, and participation in experimental operations in the development of mine warfare.
