USS Partridge (AM-16)
USS ''Partridge'' (AM-16) was an acquired by the United States Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.
''Partridge'' was named after the partridge, any of various gallinaceous birds, such as the ruffed grouse or bob-white quail, found in North America.
''Partridge'' was laid down on 14 May 1918 by the Chester Shipbuilding Co., Chester, Pennsylvania: launched on 15 October 1918; sponsored by Ms. C. H. McCay; and commissioned on 17 June 1919, Lieutenant, junior grade W. K. Bigger in command.
==Post-World War I operations==
Completed too late to participate in World War I, ''Partridge'' operated in the Pacific Ocean until returning to the Atlantic Ocean in June 1941. Converted to an ocean-going tug, ''Partridge'' was reclassified AT-138 on 1 June 1942. The tug participated in rescue and towing duties along the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean, making an important contribution to saving lives and ships, until early May 1944.
