USS PCS-1405, 1944-1947

USS PCS-1405, a 136-foot submarine chaser built at Greenport, Long Island, New York, was commissioned at the beginning of February 1944. After shaking down in the Caribbean Sea she operated on patrol and escort duty between southern Florida and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In June 1945 PCS-1405 went to the Pacific, where she was based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, for some six months. Returning to the West Coast in February 1946, she was modified for survey work. USS PCS-1405 was decommissioned in August of that year and turned over to the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. She was stricken from the Naval Register in February 1947.
