Certainly! Here are brief military histories for the requested units: **USS Embatle:** There is no record of a United States Navy vessel named USS Embatle in official naval registries or historical records. It is possible that the name is a misspelling or an informal moniker not recognized in formal histories. **USS Woodpecker:** USS Woodpecker (AMS-209/YMS-414) was a YMS-1-class auxiliary motor minesweeper launched in 1944. She served with distinction during the latter part of World War II, conducting minesweeping operations in the Pacific theater to clear naval mines and ensure safe passage for Allied ships. After the war, she continued minesweeping and training duties until decommissioning in the early 1950s. The USS Woodpecker contributed to making sea lanes safer for both military and civilian vessels during and after the war.
