USS Reform (AM-286)

USS Reform (AM-286) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II.

She was built to clear minefields in offshore waters, and served the Navy in the Pacific Ocean before voyaging to the U.S. East Coast for decommissioning.

Reform rode out two typhoons in Sasebo Harbor, suffering only minor damage to her port shaft and screw when she was driven into a mooring buoy.

After a check sweep in the Yellow Sea off Korea, she again took up operations off the southwestern coast of Kyūshū, and these continued until she was ordered home.

Designated for transfer to the Chinese Navy, she sailed for Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, and decommissioned there 9 November 1946.
