USS Firecrest (AMc-33)
USS ''Firecrest'' (AMc-33) was a ''Firecrest''-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.
The wooden-hulled purse seiner ''S. G. Giuseppe'', built in 1937 at Wilmington, California, by the boatbuilders Trigoning and Carlson, was acquired by the Navy from M. B. Giuseppe, of San Pedro, California, on 5 November 1940, and delivery and acceptance by the Commandant, 11th Naval District, took place the same day. Conversion to a coastal minesweeper began immediately, at the Campbell Machine Co., of San Diego, California; renamed ''Firecrest'' and designated as a coastal minesweeper (''AMc-33''), the ship was placed in service on 4 April 1941, Ensign Charles S. Judson, Jr., USNR, officer-in-charge.

By the end of April 1941, ''Firecrest'' was operating out of the Section Base, San Diego, north of the destroyer base at that port. In concert with , she began daily operations in San Diego harbor, streaming her sweep gear; she also conducted independent sweeping operations during that time. As the spring of 1941 gave way to the summer, ''Firecrest'' alternately swept the harbor waters with her magnetic or acoustical gear, patrolled, or conducted training. On 17 July 1941, during a towing operation in a heavy ground swell, she lost one of her 400-pound anchors.
