USS Spectacle (AM-305)
USS ''Spectacle'' (AM-305) was a steel-hulled Admirable class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. A trained crew boarded the new vessel, practiced with her minesweeping gear, and then proceeded to the Pacific Ocean to clear mines from Japanese beaches so that Allied forces could invade. While performing this dangerous task of mine clearance, a Japanese plane strafed her, and another deliberately crashed into her. When she returned to the United States, her battle damage was so severe that the U.S. Navy decided to scrap, rather than to repair, her. She was awarded two battle stars.
''Spectacle'' was laid down on 24 May 1943 by Associated Shipbuilders, Seattle, Washington; launched on 10 October 1943; and, commissioned on 11 August 1944, Lt. G. B. Williams, USNR, in command.

After fitting out at Puget Sound and conducting trial runs at Seattle, Washington, ''Spectacle'' sailed on the 31st for San Pedro, California. Following her shakedown training, held from 5 to 24 September, she moved to the West Coast Sonar School, San Diego, California, for equipment testing and antisubmarine warfare training that lasted until 27 October. The ship got underway for Hawaii the next day and arrived at Pearl Harbor on 5 November.
The following week, ''Spectacle'' sailed in the screen of a convoy and arrived at San Francisco, California, on 20 November. On the 27th, she and departed Seattle, Washington, and headed back toward Pearl Harbor. From 9 December 1944 to 21 January 1945, the minesweeper conducted extensive minesweeping and training exercises with fleet units in Hawaiian waters.
