USS Tide (AM-125)
USS ''Tide'' (AM-125) 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.
''Tide'' was an oceangoing minesweeper built during World War II. Named for the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface, she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name.
''Tide'' was laid down on 16 March 1942 at Savannah, Georgia, by the Savannah Machinery and Foundry Company; launched on 7 September 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Ruth Hangs; and commissioned on 9 May 1943, Lieutenant Commander Alvin Robinson, USNR, in command.
==North African operations==
Following shakedown training out of Key West and Norfolk, ''Tide'' got underway from Hampton Roads for her first transatlantic voyage. On 17 July, as she steamed in ''convoy'' for North Africa, the minesweeper collided with an infantry landing craft — ''LCI-267'' — which she had just provisioned. Damage to the sweeper included sprung plates and two minor hull punctures which were repaired at sea. ''Tide'' arrived at Casablanca on 18 July and was soon on her way again escorting a convoy bound for American ports. During the homeward voyage on 29 July, a sonar contact prompted ''Tide'' to drop depth charges on what she thought was an enemy submarine. Although a later search revealed an oil slick, no submarine sinking was confirmed.
