USS YMS-346, a 245-ton auxiliary motor minesweeper built at Jacksonville, Florida, was commissioned in August 1943.  She crossed the Atlantic late in the year and spent all of 1944 operating in the English Channel area.  After returning to the U.S. in early 1945, the minesweeper went to the Pacific in mid-year, then voyaged onward to Okinawa, where she arrived well after Japan's surrender.  She served briefly in Japanese and Philippine waters before being placed out of commission at the beginning of May 1946.  YMS-346 was stricken from the Navy register in June 1946.  Though considered for transfer to China, this was not carried out and she was sold in October 1948.
