USS Summit (AMc-106) 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.

Summit was laid down on 24 March 1941 by the Snow Shipyards Co., Rockland, Maine; launched on 20 September 1941; sponsored by Miss Louise Dey; and commissioned on 29 January 1942.

Summit proceeded to Yorktown, Virginia, with USS Stalwart (AMc-105) for a 10-day training period with the Mine Warfare School.

They arrived on 25 February and, upon completion of training, were routed onward to Key West, Florida, for duty in the 7th Naval District.
