USS Reign (AM-288)

USS Reign (AM-288)

"Reign" (AM-288) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was built to clear minefields in offshore waters. Her construction was completed in 1946, but she was never put into service. She remained in reserve condition, to be reactivated if needed.

In reserve status for thirteen years

Never commissioned, "Reign" remained in the Pacific Reserve Fleet until struck from the Navy list 1 November 1959. During that time, however, she was redesignated MSF-288 on 7 February 1955.
