USS Robin (MSC(O)-53/AMS-53/YMS-311) was a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass built for the United States Navy during World War II.

Following shakedown in Chesapeake Bay, YMS-311 headed south and on 23 December reported for duty to Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier.

On 9 January 1945, assigned to TG 79.9, she repeated her control ship role as U.S. Army troops were landed on Luzon near the town of Lingayen.

One penetrated the AA defenses, hit the minesweeper on the forecastle deck, then skidded across the bow and plunged into the water off the portside, killing one and wounding two of the ship's crew en route.

In July she shifted to Buckner Bay, operated in that area, with occasional runs to Kerama Retto into August, and on the 6th of that month departed the Ryukyus for the Philippines.

At the end of the month, she returned to Buckner Bay and in September moved north to the Japanese home islands for postwar sweeping operations, which continued well into December.

At the end of May 1946, YMS-311, reassigned to the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, transited the Panama Canal and proceeded to Philadelphia and New York City.

She then moved back to the Chesapeake Bay area for overhaul and duty with the Mine Warfare School at Yorktown, Virginia.
