Harriet N. Eldridge, a fishing dragger, was built in 1940 for civilian owners. She was acquired by the U.S. Navy in November of that year and placed in service as the coastal minesweeper USS Flamingo (AMc-22) in June 1941. The ship served in the waters of the 4th Naval District and the Potomac River Command. She was redesignated IX-180 in July 1944 and was stricken from the Navy list in January 1946.
