USS Nightingale (AMc-18)
USS ''Nightingale'' (AMc-18) 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.
The third ship to be named ''Nightingale'' by the Navy, ''AMc-18'' was built by Al Larson Boat Building in San Pedro, California, in 1934 as ''Majestic'', a wooden-hulled, diesel-powered purse seiner. She was acquired by the Navy from Klemente Zar at Western Boat Building Tacoma, Washington, 5 November 1940; and commissioned 31 January 1941.
== World War II service ==
''Nightingale'' operated as a coastal minesweeper in the Puget Sound area. In May she entered the yard at Western Boat Building Co., Tacoma for alteration to a patrol craft and was reclassified ''YP–166''. The name ''Nightingale'' was cancelled for ''YP–166'' and reassigned to ''AMc–149'' on 22 April 1942. ''YP–166'' served as a training craft in Puget Sound until 14 October 1944. She was struck from the Navy List 14 October 1944 and returned to her owner.
