USS SC-1062, a 95-ton 110-foot submarine chaser built at East Greenwich, Rhode Island, was commissioned in February 1943. During the next two years, she served along the U.S. eastern seaboard. SC-1062 was assigned to the Service Force, Pacific Fleet, in January 1945 and to the First Naval District for air-sea rescue duties in June 1945. In October 1945, following the end of World War II, she was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard. Renamed USCGC Air Shrike (WAVR-462), she was stationed at Rockland, Maine. Decommissioned in April 1947, she was sold by the Coast Guard in March 1948.
