USS Wheatear (AM-390)
USS ''Wheatear'' (AM-390) 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.
''Wheatear'' was named after the Wheatear, a small northern bird related to the stonechat and whinchat.
''Wheatear'' was laid down on 29 May 1944 at Cleveland, Ohio, by the American Ship Building Company; launched on 21 April 1945; sponsored by Mrs. H. P. Isham; and commissioned on 3 October 1945, Lt. Comdr. George M. Estep, USNR, in command.
==East Coast operations ==
''Wheatear'' departed Cleveland, Ohio on 8 October and arrived in Boston on the 20th. There, she completed the fitting-out process and its attendant exercises. On 23 November, she got underway and headed south, arriving at Little Creek, Virginia, on the 27th. She began shakedown training which lasted until 14 January 1946 when she became an active unit of Mine Division (MinDiv) 10. Following post-shakedown availability, ''Wheatear'' began training operations in the Chesapeake Bay from her base in Norfolk, Virginia. That employment continued until 24 June when she received orders to proceed to Charleston, South Carolina, where she went into an inactive status due to a severe shortage of crew members. She continued in that status until 31 October.
