USS Shoveler (AM-382) was an Auk-class minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing. Shoveler was fitted out at New Orleans, Louisiana, and then reported to the Mine Warfare Base, Little Creek, Virginia, on 15 June for shakedown training. On 5 August, the minesweeper cleared that port en route to the west coast for assignment to Mine Force, Pacific Fleet. The ship arrived at San Pedro, California, on 23 August and conducted further trials. On 30 August, Shoveler stood out of San Pedro, California, underway for Eniwetok, Marshall Islands, via Pearl Harbor.
