USS Scuffle
USS Scuffle was an Admirable-class minesweeper of the United States Navy that served during World War II. Named after the term "scuffle", which refers to a short, confused fight or struggle at close quarters, the USS Scuffle was built to clear mines that had been placed in the water to prevent the passage of ships.
