USS ''Liberator'' (AMc-87) was an ''Accentor''-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. ''Liberator'' was laid down 5 May 1941 by F. L. Fulton Works, Antioch, California; launched 6 September 1941; sponsored by Miss Pay Hill; and placed in service 22 February 1942, Lt. (jg.) James. W. Dawnes in command. Assigned to the 13th Naval District, ''Liberator'' operated out of Puget Sound until she sailed for Alaska in April 1944. She swept the Alaskan shipping lanes and returned to the 13th Naval District in September. Reclassified ''IX-202'' on 20 December 1944, ''Liberator'' was used as a general utility ship until she was placed out of service 3 May 1945. She was turned over to War Shipping Administration (WSA) 2 July 1946 for disposal. == 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 Liberator (AMc-87)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
