Adjutant-class minesweeper

The Adjutant-class auxiliary motor minesweepers were built for the United States Navy throughout the 1950s and 1960s, even as late as 1978. Most were loaned to foreign countries under the Military Defense Assistance Pact, with only 24 actually commissioned by the US Navy, with 13 of those eventually being transferred to foreign nations as well. Initially classified as auxiliary motor minesweeper (AMS), on 7 February 1955, they were reclassified as coastal minesweeper (minesweeper, coastal) (MSC).
