USS Woodcock (AM-14)
USS ''Woodcock'' (AM-14) 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.
''Woodcock'' was named, by the U.S. Navy, for the woodcock, a game bird that frequents wooded areas.
''Woodcock'' (Minesweeper No. 14) was laid down on 19 October 1917 at Chester, Pennsylvania, by the Chester Shipbuilding Co.; launched on 12 May 1918; sponsored by Mrs. Lewis T. Kniskern; and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 19 February 1919, Lt. (jg-) W. J. Fanger in command.
== World War I Atlantic operations ==
After performing experimental minesweeping work at Newport, Rhode Island, and tending lightships at New York, ''Woodcock'' sailed for the Orkney Islands and reached Kirkwall, Scotland, on 10 July 1919. Over the ensuing months, the ship operated in the North Sea on mine-sweeping duties with the Atlantic Fleet's minesweeping detachment. During that time, ''Woodcock'' spent 54 days in the minefields and 28 in port for needed upkeep and voyage repairs occasioned by the heavy weather often encountered by the ships of the detachment.
