USS Goldfinch (AMS-12/YMS-306) was a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing. Goldfinch, a wooden-hulled motor minesweeper, was built as YMS-306 by Rice Brothers Corp., East Boothbay, Maine, and commissioned 20 January 1944, Lt. (j.g.) K. B. Roberts in command. YMS-306 departed Boston, Massachusetts, 6 February for shakedown training off Norfolk, Virginia, and upon completion reported to Bermuda for minesweeping duty, arriving 16 April 1944. Returning to Norfolk, the ship prepared for Pacific Ocean duty and departed for California 18 July 1945. She arrived San Pedro, California, via the Panama Canal 14 August, and after undergoing extensive repairs departed for Pearl Harbor, arriving 2 January 1946.
