USS Energy (AMc-78)

USS "Energy" (AMc-78) was an "Accentor"-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.

"Energy" was launched 20 September 1941 by W. A. Robinson, Inc., of Ipswich, Massachusetts; sponsored by Mrs. E. Benedix; and commissioned 1 January 1942, Lieutenant (junior grade) J. L. Maloney, USNR, in command.

World War II service

After conducting tests at the Mine Warfare School at Yorktown, Virginia, "Energy" arrived at St. George’s, Bermuda 24 March 1942, for sweeping duty until 20 October, when she sailed for Boston, Massachusetts.

Decommissioned and reassigned as YDT-3

Here she was decommissioned 9 November 1942, and given "in-service" status. She became "YDT-3" in July 1946 and continued to serve with the 1st Naval District. She was reported sold in 1960.
