John G. Murley, a moderate-size fishing vessel, was built in 1939. She was acquired by the Navy in October 1940, converted into a minesweeper, and placed in service as USS Canary (AMc-25) in June 1941. Following service in the U.S. central Atlantic coastal region, in January 1944 she was reclassified YDT-7 for employment as a diving tender with the Fifth Naval District. She was transferred to the U.S. Maritime Commission in June 1948.
