USS Dominant MSO

USS Dominant (MSO-431) was an Agile-class minesweeper of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1954. Designed for ocean-going mine countermeasures, she operated primarily along the U.S. East Coast, the Caribbean, and deployed to the Mediterranean with the U.S. Sixth Fleet. Throughout her service, USS Dominant participated in various training exercises, mine-sweeping operations, and NATO exercises to ensure maritime safety during the Cold War. She was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1982, marking the end of nearly three decades of dedicated service.
