USS Passaic (AN-87)

USS Passaic (YN-113/AN-87) was a Cohoes-class net laying ship built for the United States Navy during World War II.

Passaic, the second U.S. Navy ship to be so named, was originally authorized as YN–113; redesignated AN–87 on 17 January 1944; laid down at Leathem D. Smith Shipbuilding Company, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, 25 April 1944; launched 29 June 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Sam H. North; and commissioned 6 March 1945.

After war-time service, Passaic remained at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, until 1947, when she reported to San Diego, California.

She was then transferred to the U.S. Maritime Administration, and laid up at Suisun Bay with the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

Passaconaway was transferred to the Dominican Republic in September 1976 as patrol vessel Calderas (P209).
