	USS CONFLICT (MSO-426)
		CONFLICT's mission was to conduct minesweeping and minehunting operations.
		The agility of a minesweeper to clear the sea lanes is a very important one for the United States since the use of mines can tie-up both civilian and Navy ships until the channel can be swept.
		With ships like the CONFLICT performing their mission, the possibility that other ships will be sunk or damaged by mines is greatly lessened.

		During the age of sail, ship signified a ship-rigged vessel, that is, one with three or more masts, usually three, all square-rigged.
		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		A number of different tonnage definitions exist; most measure volume rather than weight, and are used when describing merchant ships for the purpose of tolls, taxation, etc. In Britain until the Merchant Shipping Act of 1876, ship-owners could load their vessels until their decks were almost awash, resulting in a dangerously unstable condition.

		The military ships, minesweepers, that are used to destroy naval mines at sea.
		Minesweepers are equipped with mechanical or influence sweeps to detonate mines.
		A minesweeper is in particular better at clearing an area of a large number of relatively simple mines—for example towing a wire sweep to cut loose floating contact mines or an electric loop with a powerful electric current to detonate magnetic mines.

		The modern minesweeper is designed to reduce the chances of it detonating mines itself; it is soundproofed to reduce its acoustic signature and often constructed using wood, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or non-ferrous metal, or is degaussed, to reduce its magnetic signature.
		The minesweeper is distinct from a minehunter; the minehunter actively detects and neutralises individual mines.
		Minesweepers are in many cases complementary to minehunters, depending on the operation and the environment; a minesweeper is, in particular, better suited to clearing open-water areas of a large number of mines.

		The minesweeper itself produces much less noise than other ships, and are often constructed with hulls of wood, plastic or low-magnetic steel.
		The "minesweeper" is distinct from a "minehunter" as the mines are neutralized without first detecting each mine.
		The minesweepers weaponry is mostly designed for the destruction of mines (specialized mortars and short-range torpedoes), but as they are military ships, anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and other combative weapons are usually present.

	Auk
		The minesweeper, rolling and pitching heavily as the winds and seas rose, was proceeding on her coastwise voyage when, in the predawn darkness of the 0000-0400 watch on 8 March, men in the crew's compartment detected water entering their space at an alarming rate.
		As the seemingly mortally wounded minesweeper wallowed in the swells, Auk, with Capt. Bulmer directing the rescue operations, immediately altered course to close her stricken sister ship.
		The ship concluded her last operations with the Coast and Geodetic Survey in the summer of 1941—having worked out of Dutch Harbor, Cold Bay, Women's Bay, and Kodiak since the previous spring— and departed Ketchikan on 22 July 1941, bound for Seattle and turnover to the Navy.

		Then the ship would return to Seattle for routine upkeep and maintenance while her officers and men plotted the data gathered during previous operations on the "working grounds" and wrote reports of the work conducted.

	USS Auk
		The minesweeper varied her daily routine in the minefields which lasted into late May-by escorting SC-356 to Lerwick and back on 17 and 18 May. During the latter half of the month, Auk teamed with, on different occasions, Oriole, Swan (Minesweeper No. 34), or Kingfisher (Minesweeper No. 25).
		Training her searchlight on the stranded minesweeper, Discoverer attempted to launch a whaleboat, but the moderately rough seas to windward of the ship forced her to abandon the attempt.
		One of the ships the Navy now sought was Discoverer, and the Executive Order of 19 June 1941 authorized the Navy to take her over for service as a salvage ship.

	Long Bow class modified Scimitar Light Patrol Ship (CAF)
		The Scimitar class patrol is an excellently constructed ship but the truth is that for the thousands of Scimitars on active duty, these ships are not the preferred escort for most Battle Groups and in a missile battle commonly become in real trouble.
		The ships hull, shields, and propulsion are unmodified from a standard Scimitar but due to weapon changes, the computers and sensors have been modified.
		The ship main difference is though the elimination of the two heavy laser cannons, the ship carries a powerful directional sensor system.
