USS Carmick (DMS-33) Gleaves class destroyers that were converted to
high-speed minesweepers as they appeared between 1944 and 1946. Their armament
consists of three single 5-in. gun mounts, two twin 40-mm gun mounts, and two
single 20-mm gun mounts. Number four 5-in. gun mount on the fantail was removed
to accommodate minesweeping gear and the two quintuple 21-in. torpedo tubes
were removed as weight compensation. Minesweeping gear includes a large cable
reel for sweeping magnetic mines and a smaller one for sweeping moored mines.
