USS Lucid, Military museum in Stockton, US

USS Lucid is an Aggressive-class minesweeper launched in 1953 and now a museum ship at Stockton, California. Its wooden hull, built by Higgins Inc. in New Orleans, retains original compartments and equipment. The ship is the last Aggressive-class minesweeper afloat in the United States.

The ship was built in 1953 at a New Orleans shipyard and belonged to the Aggressive-class of minesweepers. After multiple deployments in Asia, including missions during the Vietnam War, it was later preserved and made accessible to the public.

The ship's name honours a U.S. Navy tradition: Lucid is the second warship to bear it. Visitors can see the restored mess and crew spaces, and hear how the vessel earned two Battle Effectiveness Awards between 1957 and 1961 and a white "M" for minesweeping efficiency in 1968.

The ship is moored at a pier of the former naval reserve center on Monte Diablo Avenue in Stockton, and was moved there from Bradford Island in November 2011. It was dedicated at a ceremony on 15 March 2012, and students and volunteers of the San Joaquin Building Futures Academy restored it. It now sits in the historic shipbuilding area near Weber Point, where over a thousand boats were built from the 1850s to the 1980s.

It is the last floating example of its ship class in the United States, offering a rare look at postwar minesweeper design. Volunteers regularly work on restoration to keep the vessel intact for future generations.
