Alchemy (AM-141) was laid down on 8 June 1942 at Tampa, Fla., by the Tampa Shipbuilding Co.; sponsored by Mrs. W. E. Edgarton; and completed on 11 August 1943. On the same day that she was completed, Alchemy was turned over to the Soviet Navy under the terms of the lend-lease program. She served the Soviets as T-114, and they never returned her to the United States. Alchemy was carried on the American Navy list, as MSF-141 after 7 February 1955, until struck on 1 January 1983.
