''Sway'' conducted her shakedown and training along the New England coast. She then operated from Norfolk to New York until mid-October. The minesweeper stood out of Norfolk on 15 October as an escort for convoy UGS-21 en route to Algeria. ''Sway'' arrived at Oran on 1 November. Two weeks later, she and escorted a convoy to Naples, Italy. The remainder of November and all of December was spent escorting convoys between Naples, Bizerte, and Palermo. In Naples, in mid-January 1944, ''Sway'' and Mine Squadron (MinRon) 6 were attached to an assault force that was to participate in "Operation Shingle" – the landing of combined American and British forces 60 miles behind the German lines in the Anzio-Nettuno area.
