USS Success (AM-310)

USS Success (AM-310)

USS "Success" (AM-310) was a steel-hulled departed Okinawa to sweep an area near Kyūshū, from the 14th to the 24th before returning to port. She sailed on 30 August for the southwest coast of Korea and swept mines there until 7 September. Two days later she was assigned to the U.S. 5th Fleet and swept the approaches to Sasebo, Japan, which became her base of operations. She cleared mines around the islands there, and then swept known minefields from Kyūshū to Korea until early December.

Post-War operations

"Success" returned to Sasebo on 5 December and waited for further orders. She was notified that she would return to the United States, via Eniwetok and Pearl Harbor. The sweeper sailed on 10 December 1945 and arrived at San Diego, California, on 12 January 1946. She was routed from there to the East Coast and arrived at Galveston, Texas, on 3 February for pre-inactivation availability.

Post-War deactivation

"Success" moved to Orange, Texas, where she was decommissioned on 9 July 1946 and attached to the U.S. 16th Fleet. On 7 February 1955 her designation was changed from AM-310 to MSF-310. "Success" was struck from the Navy List on 1 May 1962.

Awards

"Success" received four battle stars for World War II.
