USS Monadnock (ACM-14)

USS "Monadnock" (ACM-14) was originally built for U.S. Army use as a mineplanter.

The auxiliary minelayer was transferred to the U.S. Navy in March 1951. She was then berthed at Boston as a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, where she remained until struck from the Navy list 1 July 1960.

While in the Reserve Fleet, she was redesignated MMA-14, 7 February 1955, and named "Monadnock", 1 May 1955.
