High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Bobolink (AMS-2/YMS-164) was a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of removing mines that had been placed in the water to prevent ships from passing. YMS-164 was laid down on 24 April 1942 at Benton Harbor, Michigan, by the Dachel-Carter Shipbuilding Corporation; launched on 28 November 1942, sponsored by Mrs. Anna Arny; and commissioned on 14 April 1943, with Lt. (jg.) Robert W. Cumming, USNR, in command. During the first 15 months of her active service, the motor minesweeper operated along the east coast of the United States. In July 1944, she voyaged across the Atlantic Ocean to participate in the invasion of southern France and, but for refueling and replenishment breaks at Corsica, remained off that coast sweeping mines from the first assaults on the morning of 15 August until 21 September. At that time, she moved to Palermo, Sicily, where she performed additional minesweeping duties. YMS-164 continued to serve at various locations in the Mediterranean through the end of hostilities in Europe.
