Tebo Yacht Basin by the Todd Shipbuilding Co., <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>; launched on 2 September 1918; and commissioned on 4 December 1918. </p> <meta

performed miscellaneous towing operations out of <a href="/wiki/Tompkinsville,_New_York" class="mw-redirect" title="Tompkinsville, New York">Tompkinsville, New York</a>, through January and February 1919. In March, she proceeded to <a href="/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts" class="mw-redirect" title="Boston, Massachusetts">Boston, Massachusetts</a>, whence she sailed on 14 April for the <a href="/wiki/Orkney_Islands" class="mw-redirect" title="Orkney Islands">Orkney Islands</a> to join in the postwar sweeping operations to clear the <a href="/wiki/North_Sea" title="North Sea">North Sea</a> for peacetime shipping. </p><p>On the 29th, the day she arrived at <a href="/wiki/Kirkwall" title="Kirkwall">Kirkwall</a>, the first <a href="/wiki/Minesweeper_(ship)" class="mw-redirect" title="Minesweeper (ship)">sweeping</a> operation in the American-laid fields began. Experimental in nature, that sweep disposed of only 221 mines and put hardly a dent in the barrage which had been stretched from <a href="/wiki/Orkney" title="Orkney">Orkney</a> to Norway to stop <a href="/wiki/Kaiserliche_Marine" class="mw-redirect" title="Kaiserliche Marine">German</a> <a href="/wiki/Submarine" title="Submarine">submarine</a> traffic from going into the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean" title="Atlantic Ocean">Atlantic Ocean</a>. The six following sweeps used different methods, improved equipment, and more ships — including <i>Sanderling</i>. These modified operations proved to be more productive. </p><p>During the third operation, in June, <i>Sanderling</i> and <a href="/wiki/USS_Heron_(AM-10)" title="USS Heron (AM-10)"><i>Heron</i></a>, operating together, located a sunken <a href="/wiki/U-boat" title="U-boat">U-boat</a>.

Sweeping operations were soon resumed and continued more "routinely," if hazardously, for <i>Sanderling</i> until the sixth operation in August and early September. <a href="/wiki/Influenza" title="Influenza">Influenza</a> struck the mine force as it worked the eastern end of the barrage. Soon thereafter, <i>Sanderling</i> was damaged by an upper level countermine. Repairs, however, were effected quickly, and the ship was ready to return to sea as the final clearance sweeps were conducted. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Return_to_East_Coast_operations">Return to East Coast operations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=USS_Sanderling_(AM-37)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Return to East Coast operations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By 1 October, the <a href="/wiki/North_Sea_Mine_Barrage" title="North Sea Mine Barrage">North Sea Mine Barrage</a>, originally a concentration of over 70,000 British and American mines, had been swept; and <i>Sanderling</i> headed home.
