USS Affray (AMc-112) was an Acme-class minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.Affray -- a wooden-hulled, coastal minesweeper built in 1941 at Tacoma, Washington, by the Tacoma Boat Building Co. was acquired by the Navy late in 1941 and was placed in service on 2 December 1941, Lt. R. I. Thieme, USNR, in command.Though she may have performed some duty at Seattle, Washington, initially Affray spent the bulk of her active career at Kodiak, Alaska. Her war diary does not begin until 1 July 1942, and, by that time, the warship was already at Kodiak conducting sweeps for mines and making other patrols on a daily basis. She remained so occupied throughout World War II.
