There is a reference in Norman Friedman's "U.S. Amphibious Ships" to a canceled 225 ft. ocean minesweeper that was related to the singleton unit USS Carronade in terms of hull form. Aluminum hull construction would have made a great deal of sense as it was very obviously amagnetic and less maintenance intensive than a wooden planked hull - something that is very important for ship type that would typically spend years in reserve or mothballed status.Does anyone have any more information on this aluminum ocean minesweeper project?
