USS Prevail (AM-107)
USS ''Prevail'' (AM-107) was an acquired by the United States Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.
''Prevail'', a steel-hulled minesweeper, was named after the word "prevail," meaning to gain ascendancy through strength or superiority.
''Prevail'' was laid down by Pennsylvania Shipyards Inc., Beaumont, Texas, 15 November 1941; launched 13 September 1942; sponsored by Mrs. T. B. Moran; and commissioned 17 April 1943, Comdr. A. V. Wallis, USNR, in command.
== World War II Mediterranean operations ==
After training at Key West, Florida, ''Prevail'' spent several months on escort duty with convoys between the U.S. East Coast and Casablanca. Beginning 8 September, she took part in the main sweeps off Salerno and remained off that beachhead on patrol for thirty days. The next operation consisted of sweeps for the establishment of the Anzio beachhead, 21 to 24 January 1944, where ''Prevail'' was subjected to intense air attack and was damaged by a near bomb miss which forced her to proceed to Palermo and Oran for repairs.
