USS Exultant (AMc-79)

USS Exultant (AMc-79) was a coastal minesweeper of the United States Navy. She was laid down on 23 June 1941 at the Charleston Navy Yard, Charleston, South Carolina; launched on 22 August 1941; and commissioned on 23 December 1941.

The ship's primary role was the detection and neutralization of mines in coastal waters. AMc-79 class vessels were relatively small and designed for shallow-water operations. Their construction emphasized speed and maneuverability, enabling them to quickly navigate minefields and deploy minesweeping gear.

Operational details regarding the USS Exultant (AMc-79) during World War II are currently limited. Further research is needed to fully document her service history, including specific deployments, engagements with enemy forces, and any significant contributions to the war effort. Information regarding her post-war service and ultimate fate also remains incomplete.

Following the conclusion of World War II, many ships of this class were decommissioned and either scrapped or transferred to other nations. Determining the specific fate of the USS Exultant (AMc-79) requires additional archival research.
