USS Agile (AMc-111) was an Agile-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the United States Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing. Agile—a wooden-hulled coastal minesweeper—was purchased by the Navy from Mr. John Breskovich of Tacoma, Washington, on 10 April 1941 while she was still under construction at the Petersen Shipbuilding Co. in Tacoma, Washington; delivered to the Navy on 26 November 1941; and placed in service on 12 December 1941, Lt. (jg-) John G. Turbitt, USNR, in charge.
