USS Bluebird (AM-72) was an Albatross-class minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II for clearing minefields during fleet operations.
M/V Maine—a steel-hulled fishing trawler constructed in 1931 at Bath, Maine, by Bath Iron Works—was purchased by the Navy on 13 August 1940 from the Booth Fisheries Co., Boston, Massachusetts; renamed Bluebird and designated a minesweeper, AM-72, on 14 August 1940; converted to naval service at Boston, Massachusetts, by the General Ship & Engineering Works; and commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard on 22 November 1940.
Bluebird was assigned to Mine Squadron (MinRon) 7, Train, Atlantic Fleet.
On 31 October 1944, she arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, and reported to the Commandant, 1st Naval District, preparatory to being laid up.
On 15 November 1945, she was transferred to the Maritime Commission's War Shipping Administration for disposal.
