USS Scrimmage (AM-297) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was built to clear minefields in offshore waters. She served in the Pacific Ocean and, because of her valiant efforts in combat, her crew returned home with six battle stars. Scrimmage was laid down on 22 February 1943 by Winslow Marine Railway and Shipbuilding Co., Seattle, Washington, launched on 16 May 1943; and commissioned on 4 April 1944, Lt. Robert Van Winkle in command.
