Overview

USS Warrior (MCM-10) is one continuous physical Avenger-class mine-countermeasures hull.

Warrior is associated with United States and United States Navy. It belonged to Avenger class, so the class page provides the shared design history while this page concentrates on the individual ship.

Construction and identity

The available construction record identifies Warrior as built by Peterson Builders, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

The ship's documented identity includes hull or pennant identifiers MCM-10 and service with United States Navy.

Service history

Active U.S. Navy service, forward-deployed at Sasebo, Japan, in the current official command source.

The ship's configuration should be interpreted through the documented class and the dates attached to this individual vessel; equipment should not be assumed to have remained unchanged throughout service.

Class context: Avenger class

The Avenger class comprises 14 oceangoing U.S. Navy mine-countermeasures ships numbered MCM-1 through MCM-14.

As a member of Avenger class, Warrior shared the class's documented design framework and intended roles of Mine hunting, Mine neutralization, and Minesweeping. Individual refits, transfers, and wartime changes belong to this ship only when separately documented.

Later service and disposition

Active U.S. Navy service, forward-deployed at Sasebo, Japan, in the current official command source. The recorded location is Sasebo, Japan.

Warrior matters as an individual career within Avenger class, allowing class-wide design history to be separated from this ship's own construction, identities, service, and fate.

This ship is recorded as a member of Avenger class. Shared design history belongs on the class page; this page concentrates on the individual hull where evidence is available.
