USS Linnet (AM-76), was a Kite-class minesweeper of the United States Navy during World War II.

Upon completion of training in the spring 1942, the minesweeper sailed to join Fleet operations in the South Atlantic.

Based at Recife, Brazil, Linnet played an important role in harbor clearing operations to permit the free movement of ships from that port.

She regained in Brazilian waters until 22 February 1944, when she sailed for Norfolk, Virginia, arriving there 17 March.

Returned to the War Shipping Administration on 31 July 1945, and converted to mercantile service and renamed M/V Cambridge.
