USS PCS-1425 was a United States Navy minesweeper and patrol ship in service during World War II. Her keel was laid in 1943 as PC-1425, before being reclassified three months later as a "patrol craft sweeper" (PCS). After the war, the ship served as a test platform for the development of naval radios, being the first ship to demonstrate the use of an automatically aligning UHF directional antenna.[1]
In 1950, she was leased to the Puget Sound Naval Academy for use as a training ship.[2]
