    Page 20 Universal Ship Cancellation Society Log September 2015 US Navy “Bird Boats” – Four Generations of Mine Warfare Ships John Germann (9018) [email protected] First Generation The Navy’s very first minesweeper was a “bird boat,” launching a 90-year series of sweepers or their equivalents named for birds worldwide. Its production stimulated by the “Great War,” LAPWING (AM 1) was laid down by Todd Shipyards of New York on 25 October 1917, launched 14 Figure 3: USS BOBOLINK (AM 20) with William F. Schlechter Bird March 1918, and commissioned 12 June 1918. She was cachet for 1935 Navy Day. Locy Type 3 cancel with followed in close order by forty-nine others, AM 2-54 (five NAVY/DAY in killer bars. of the contracts were cancelled). The last of the group, WILLET (AM 54), joined the Navy 29 January 1920. Second Generation World War II witnessed the last contributions of AM 1/AM 54. Yet, like the preceding world conflict, it also gave birth to a fleet of new, modernized minesweepers. RAVEN (AM 55) began to take shape at the Norfolk Navy Yard 28 June 1939. She rolled off the assembly line 24 August 1940, and entered service 11 November 1940. The last of this breed, SWALLOW (AM 65), was commissioned 14 January 1943. Figure 1: USS LAPWING (AM 1) the first of the “bird boats” Many of these minesweepers engaged in the dangerous task of removing the massive North Sea mine barrage after World War I. Most survived that experience and the tests of time to aid their nation in World War II.
