USS Intensity, a 900-ton Action class gunboat, was originally the British "modified flower"class corvette Milfoil. Launched at Quebec city, Canada, in August 1942, she was transferred to the U.S. Navy and commissioned in March 1943 with a U.S. Coast Guard crew. Intensity served on anti-submarine escort and patrol duties in the western Atlantic and Caribbean through the end of World War II. She decommissioned in October 1945 and was turned over to the U.S. Maritime Commission. Sold to commercial interests in 1950, she was subsequently employed as a whale catcher under the names Olympic Promoter and (after 1956) Otori Maru Number 5.
