USS Bastion (ACM-6) was a Chimo-class minelayer in the United States Navy during World War II. Bastion was originally the USAMP Colonel Henry J. Hunt — a mine planter built in 1942 at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, by the Marietta Manufacturing Co. — and was acquired by the Navy from the U.S. Army on 4 January 1945; renamed Bastion; converted to an auxiliary minelayer; and commissioned at Charleston, South Carolina, on 9 April 1945, Lt. Earl D. Fatkin, USNR, in command. The ship was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard in 1946 to be commissioned as USCGC Jonquil serving until 1969.
