USS Finch

USS Finch (AM-9) was a Lapwing-class 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. During World War II, Finch was sunk and later salvaged by the Japanese and commissioned as Patrol Boat No. 103.
