USS Success (AM-310) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the United States Navy during World War II.
Success was laid down on 18 February 1944 by Associated Shipbuilders, Seattle, Washington; launched on 11 May 1944; sponsored by Mrs. J. L. McLean; and commissioned on 18 October 1944.
The group remained there from 3 to 5 February and then steamed to the Mariana Islands where final staging was begun for the invasion of Iwo Jima.
Success was detached from the screen to join Mine Division (MinDiv) 36 which sailed for Iwo Jima on the 13th.
Success operated as a minesweeper and performed antisubmarine patrols there from 16 to 25 February when she departed for Saipan.
On the 25th, they began sweeping mines in the Kerama Retto area in preparation for the U.S. Army landings there the next day.
Five days later, the Japanese launched their heaviest attack by suicide planes against American ships at Okinawa.
After a brief logistics period at Kerama Retto, she swept mines between Formosa and the coast of China from 4 to 15 July.
