USS Pipit

USS Pipit

Two ships of the United States Navy have been assigned the name USS "Pipit", after the pipit, a genus of small passerine birds with medium to long tails.

* USS "Pipit" (AMc-1), built as "Spartan" in 1936, was acquired by the Navy in 1940. The ship was converted into a coastal minesweeper and placed in service in 1941. She was struck from the Naval List in 1944 and returned to her owner.

* USS "Pipit" (AM-420) would have been an "Admirable"-class minesweeper but construction was cancelled in 1945.
