USS Nutmeg (AN-33)

USS Nutmeg (AN-33)

USS "Nutmeg" (AN-33/YN-33) was an "Aloe"-class net laying ship which was assigned to serve the U.S. Navy during World War II with her protective anti-submarine nets.

Built in Cleveland, Ohio

"Nutmeg" (YN–28), formerly "Sycamore", was laid down 18 October 1940 by American Shipbuilding Company, Cleveland, Ohio; launched 13 March 1941; placed in service 30 October. Allocated to the 1st Naval District for net tending duty in the Boston Harbor area she was reclassified "AN–33" on 20 June 1944.

World War II service

Through the spring of 1945 "Nutmeg" was engaged in maintaining and repairing net defenses in Boston Harbor. In May she was attached to Commander Task Force 24 for the purpose of maintaining the anti-torpedo net in Placentia Harbor, Argentia, Newfoundland. She departed Argentia 19 June with Gate Craft (Non-self propelled) "YNG–27" in tow, arriving 23 June at South Boston Navy Yard for overhaul and repairs. "Nutmeg" had been scheduled for duty at Pearl Harbor when she departed Boston, Massachusetts, 21 July for transit to the U.S. West Coast via Key West, Florida, the Panama Canal Zone, and San Pedro, California.

Voyage repairs and a main engine casualty necessitated a change in schedule, and with hostilities ended "Nutmeg" was placed on the inactive list and shifted to the Columbia River Reserve Basin.

Post-war decommissioning

Placed out of commission, in reserve in January 1947, she was transferred to the National Defense Reserve Fleet in 1959 and was struck from the Navy List 1 September 1962. She remained in the NDRF until she was sold 8 July 1971.
