High Speed Minesweeper (DMS)
Index


The conversion to High Speed Minesweeper for Clemson Class Destroyers consisted of modifying the ships stern to create a squared-off false stern capable of supporting sweeping davits and other sweeping gear, winch, paravanes, and kites. Depth charge racks were angled to the sides to allow enough clearance for the depth charges to be rolled off the stern.
