USS Reliable (AMc-100) 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.
Reliable, a coastal minesweeper, was laid down 18 August 1941 by Anderson & Cristofani, San Francisco, California; launched 14 February 1942; sponsored by Miss Ruth Schmidt; and placed in service at Mare Island Navy Yard 9 March 1942.
Throughout World War II she ensured the safe passage of shipping in and out of Los Angeles Harbor.
Reliable was struck from the Navy list 19 September 1945 and transferred to the War Shipping Administration 11 October 1946.
