Originally built as a [[Minelayer|mine planter]] for the [[U.S. Army]], ACM-15 was transferred to the custody of the Navy in March [[1951]]. Never commissioned, ACM-15 was first berthed at [[Charleston, South Carolina]], as a unit of the [[Atlantic Reserve Fleet]]. |
|||

Later moved to [[Green Cove Springs]], [[Florida]], she remained in reserve until struck from the [[Navy List]], [[1 July]] [[1960]]. During that time she was redesignated '''MMA-15''', [[7 February]] [[1955]], and named ''Nausett'', [[1 May]] [[1955]]. |
|||
After being struck, ''Nausett'' was stripped and sold, [[17 May]] [[1961]], to Caribbean Enterprises, Inc., [[Miami, Florida]]. |
