USS Kingbird (AMc-56) was a wooden dragger acquired by the U.S. Navy, just prior to World War II, for clearing coastal minefields. The first ''Kingbird'' (AMC-56), ex-''Governor Saltonstall'', was built in 1939 by the Quincy Drydock & Yacht Co., Quincy, Massachusetts, acquired by the Navy 26 December 1940, and placed in service as a coastal minesweeper in the 1st Naval District 24 July 1941. Following assignment to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in January 1942, ''Kingbird'' operated in the 1st Naval District as a coastal minesweeper for over 2 years. She was reclassified IX-176 10 July 1944 and placed out of service 28 July 1944 for use in training sound operators for new submarines. ''Kingbird'' was transferred to the War Shipping Administration 7 June 1946 for disposal. Her fate is unknown. == References == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Kingbird (AMc-56)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
