The second USS Scoter (AM-381) was an Auk-class minesweeper acquired by the United States Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing. Scoter was named after the word "Scoter," which is a mercantile name retained during service in the United States Navy.
