USS Device

USS Device (AM-220) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was awarded three battle stars for service in the Pacific during World War II. She was decommissioned in August 1946 and placed in reserve. Although she did not see service in the war zone, Device was recommissioned in March 1950 during the Korean War and remained in commission until February 1954, when she was placed in reserve again. While she remained in reserve, Device was reclassified as MSF-220 in February 1955 but never reactivated. In October 1962, she was sold to the Mexican Navy and renamed ARM DM-11. In 1994 she was renamed ARM Cadete Agustín Melgar (C54), spelled Augustín Melgar in some sources. She was stricken in 2000, and scuttled for use as an artificial reef in Bahía de Loreto National Park.
