USS Linnet (AMS-24/YMS-395) was a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass built for the United States Navy during World War II.

For the next 16 months YMS-395 engaged in patrol operations, convoy escort duty, and minesweeper services in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands.

Together with similar ships of her type, she played an important role in defeat of Japan by keeping the staging harbors clear of enemy mines, After the Japanese surrender, YMS-395 departed Guam 14 September 1945, touching several islands before arriving San Pedro, California, 26 October.

I was 16 at the time and helped him sail it from from the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to NYC, where it was docked at the Brooklyn Kings Mall wharf for a year while we removed the military gear and sold the minesweep cable and the diesel generator.

He sailed it down to Key West and leased it to a lobster fishing operation that had strings of pots along the Yucatan off-shore Mexico area.
