USS Sprig (AM-384)
USS ''Sprig'' (AM-384) 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.
''Sprig'' was named after the "sprig", an inland duck, common to the entire Northern Hemisphere; also known as sprigtail or pintail. It is a very distinct species and derives its name from the great prolongation and narrowness of the middle pair of tail-feathers, which is particularly noticeable in the male.
''Sprig'' was laid down on 15 February 1944 by the American Ship Building Company at Lorain, Ohio; launched on 15 September 1944; sponsored by Mrs. John Sherwin; and commissioned on 4 April 1945, Lt. Thomas W. Cross in command.
==East Coast operations ==
On 15 April, the minesweeper started down the Saint Lawrence Seaway from Cleveland, Ohio. After stops at Montreal, Quebec, and Halifax, she arrived at Boston on 5 May. There she executed her first minesweeping trials and had her sound gear and depth charge equipment removed. She put to sea on 16 July and reached Hampton Roads, Virginia, the next day. ''Sprig'' conducted shakedown training at Little Creek, Virginia, until 6 September when she got underway for the Pacific. She was in the Panama Canal Zone from 12 to 14 September; then headed via Acapulco, Mexico, to San Pedro, California, arriving there on the 24th.
