USS PGM-4

USS PGM-4 was a PGM-1-class motor gunboat acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. These vessels were initially designated as Coastal Minesweepers (MCS), but were reclassified as Motor Gunboats (PGM) in April 1943. The PGM-4 served in the Pacific Theater. Specific details regarding its service history, battles engaged in, and ultimate fate are not readily available in easily accessible public records, but generally, these vessels were utilized for patrol duties, anti-submarine warfare, and providing close-in fire support for amphibious landings. The PGM-1 class was designed for relatively shallow waters and could navigate rivers and coastal areas, making them valuable for operations in the Pacific islands.
