Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. USS Advance (AM-510/MSO-510) was an Acme-class minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of removing mines that had been placed in the water to prevent the safe passage of ships. The sixth ship to be named Advance by the Navy, MSO-510 was laid down on 28 June 1955 at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, by Frank L. Sample, Jr., Inc.; launched on 12 July 1956; sponsored by Mrs. Allen H. Sturges; and commissioned on 16 June 1958, Lt. Coleman T. Brown in command. The minesweeper completed her outfitting in Boothbay Harbor and, after a stop at Boston, Massachusetts, for additional preparations, headed south for Charleston, South Carolina, near the end of the second week in July. She arrived at that port on 15 July and conducted four weeks of shakedown training. On 12 August, the ship began the long passage to the U.S. West Coast and her permanent assignment.
