USS Scurry (AM-304) was a steel-hulled Admirable-class minesweeper constructed for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was crewed by sailors who were trained in minesweeping, and quickly sent to the Pacific Ocean to clear minefields so that Allied Forces could invade Japanese-held beaches. For this dangerous work, often under enemy fire, she was awarded four battle stars.
