IMpi Yezwe Yesibili yakufakazela ngokungangabazeki ukuthi izikhali zasezimayini, ezisetshenziswa kokubili ekuhlaseleni nasekuzivikeleni, ziyindlela esabekayo, ephumelelayo neyongayo yokulwa olwandle. Izibalo ezinikezwe emlandweni wezimpi zasolwandle zibonisa ukuthi uma kusetshenziswa izimayini ezingama-2600 eMpini YaseCrimea, kanye ne-6500 eMpini YaseRussia-Japanese, cishe izinkulungwane ezingama-310 zafakwa eMpini Yezwe Yokuqala, futhi ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ze-000 eMpini Yesibili. Impi Yezwe. AmaNavies emhlabeni jikelele abone intshisekelo ekhulayo kulezi zindlela zempi ezishibhile nezisebenzayo. Babeziqonda nezingozi ezihilelekile.
kokubhikisha kwango
Ngo-March 4, 1941 e-Henry B. Nevins, Inc. Umshayi-mayini we-US Navy Yard Class ubekwe phansi okokuqala e-City Island, eNew York.

Abavukuzi bokhuni balolu hlobo babesebenza emanzini amaningi phakathi neMpi Yezwe II. Kwakhiwe imikhumbi engu-561 ezindaweni zemikhumbi zaseMelika. Ekuqaleni yayibizwa ngokuthi "I-Motor Minesweeper", igama elithi "Igceke" libhekisela "ku-Naval Base" noma "Indawo Yemikhumbi Yasemanzini". Imikhumbi yalolu hlobo kwakufanele isebenze emanzini aseduze nezisekelo zayo. Zakhiwe ezindaweni ezingama-35 zemikhumbi, engxenyeni ye-yacht yamabhubesi, eziyi-12 oGwini Olusempumalanga, eziyi-19 oGwini oluseNtshonalanga nezi-4 esifundeni saseGreat Lakes.
Imikhumbi yokuqala yephrojekthi ye-YMS yasetshenziswa yi-US Navy ukushanela izimayini ezabekwa yimikhumbi-ngwenya emuva ngo-1942 ezindleleni eziya emachwebeni ase-Jacksonville (eFlorida) naseCharleston (eNingizimu Carolina).

I-YMS-class isizibonakalise njengenye yezinhlobo ezihlala isikhathi eside futhi eziguquguqukayo zeyunithi yesenzo sezimayini eMbuthweni Wezempi Wasemanzini wase-US, enza umsebenzi wokushanela izimayini nezindima ezihlukahlukene ezikhungweni zemikhumbi zamazwe amaningi omhlaba ikota yekhulu. Yonke imikhumbi engama-481 yalolu hlobo yayinezici ezifanayo ezijwayelekile. Ushintsho olubalulekile kuphela lwalusekubukekeni. I-YMS-1–134 inoshimula ababili, i-YMS-135–445 kanye ne-480 kanye ne-481 inoshimula owodwa, futhi i-YMS-446–479 yayingenawo ushimula. Ekuqaleni, amayunithi asetshenziswa alinganiselwa njengesisekelo, i.e. ngenhloso yokulungiselela imayini ukuhlala.
Ngo-1947, imikhumbi ye-YMS-class yahlelwa kabusha yaba yi-AMS (Motor Minesweeper), kwathi ngo-1955 yaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-MSC (O), yashintshwa ngo-1967 yaba yi-MSCO (Ocean Minesweeper). Lawa mayunithi aqhube ukuvikela kwezimayini e-Korea njengengxenye yengxenye ebalulekile yebutho lezimayini. Kuze kube ngu-1960, amasosha asemanzini asolwandle ayeqeqeshwa kule mikhumbi. Lesi sakamuva sasuswa ohlwini lwemikhumbi ngoNovemba 1969. I-USS Ruff (MSCO 54), ekuqaleni i-YMS-327.
