USS Killdeer (AMc-21)
USS ''Killdeer'' (AMc-21) was a unique 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.
''Killdeer'' was originally built as a purse seiner in 1930 by Al Larson, Los Angeles, California, with the name of ''Vindicator''; rebuilt in 1940 by Harbor Boat Works, San Pedro, California; acquired by the Navy from her owner, Mr. Martin Trutanich, 8 November 1940; and placed in service the same day as ''Killdeer''.
== World War II service ==
From 9 November 1940 to 17 April 1941 she underwent conversion to ''AMc-21'', and on 8 May 1941 she began service with the 12th Naval District. Operating out of San Francisco, California, ''Killdeer'' transferred to the Western Sea Frontier 1 August for further service as a channel minesweeping ship. She continued sweeping shipping lanes in the approaches to San Francisco Bay until 12 September 1944 when she was placed out of service.
