USS Lorikeet (AMc-49) was an Accentor-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.

Attached to the Inshore Patrol, Lorikeet was based at Staten Island for sweeping operations to keep vital New York Harbor free from the menace of enemy mines.

In November 1944 she was transferred to the 1st Naval District and swept the sealanes approaching Boston, Massachusetts.

As World War II closed, she arrived Charleston, South Carolina, 8 August 1945.

Lorikeet decommissioned there 14 December, was struck from the Navy list 8 January 1946, and was turned over to the Maritime Commission.
