USS Courlan (AMc-44) was an Accentor-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.
The first ship to be named Courlan by the Navy, AMC-44 served in an "in service" status from 1941 to 1947.
