High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Waxbill (AMc-15) was a coastal minesweeper of the United States Navy. The ship was built as the commercial wooden-hulled purse seiner Leslie J. Fulton by F. L. Fulton, Antioch, California in 1936. Purchased by the U.S. Navy on 19 November 1940 for eventual conversion to a coastal minesweeper, she was commissioned as USS AMc-15 on 26 November 1940, and was named Waxbill the following day. Not yet fully equipped or manned, Waxbill operated in the 12th Naval District's waters, training naval reservists through to the end of 1940. Decommissioned on 20 January 1941, the ship was attached to the inshore patrol forces of the district as of 1 January 1941, and entered the General Engineering and Drydock Co. yard at Alameda, California, on 20 January, for conversion to a coastal minesweeper. While at Alameda, the ship was recommissioned and placed in service on 19 February 1941.
