Lesson plan
USS Refresh
USS Refresh (hull number AM-287) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was built to clear minefields in offshore waters, and served the Navy in the Pacific Ocean. Post-war, her crew returned home with two battle stars to their credit. The ship itself was given to the Republic of China Navy in June 1948, initially renamed ROCS Yung Chang (AM-51), and sometime later renamed Lin Huai. Following 17 years of service with its second navy, Lin Huai was hit by a PLA Navy torpedo and sunk during the Battle of East Chongwu in November 1965.
