About USS Monadnock
Monadnock (ACM-14) was originally built as an M1 mine planter for the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps, Mine Planter Service as USAMP Major Samuel Ringgold (MP 11) by the Marietta Manufacturing Co., Point Pleasant, WV and delivered to the Army December 1942. The ship was the second mine planter named for Samuel Ringgold (1796–1846), an officer noted as the "Father of Modern Artillery" who fell in the Mexican–American War. The mine planter was transferred to the U.S. Navy in March 1951 to become an Auxiliary Minelayer (ACM / MMA) under naval designation. She was then berthed at Boston as a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. While in the Reserve Fleet, she was redesignated MMA-14, 7 February 1955, and named Monadnock, 1 May 1955; the second ACM to bear this name. The ship was never commissioned and thus never bore the "USS" prefix.
