France received 31 YMS-class minesweepers during World War 2, with one (''D202'', formerly {{USS|YMS-77||2}}) being sunk by a mine in 1944. France kept its YMS-class ships in service after the end of the war,<ref name="massv2 p59,61-3">Masson 1969, pp. 59, 61–53.</ref> with seven remaining in service in 1962, used as training ships in the [[École Navale]] and as experimental vessels. Three ships of the class were transferred from France to [[South Vietnam]] in 1954, while another was transferred to [[Madagascar]] in 1961.<ref name="jfs62 p94">Blackman 1962, p. 94.</ref>

The [[Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force]] received 8 vessels of this class in the 1950s. The class was named ''Ujishima''-class minesweeper. The ships were:

* [[USS Condor (AMS-5)|JDS Ujishima (MSC-655)]]

* [[JDS Etajima (MSC-656)]]

* [[JDS Nuwajima (MSC-657)]]

* [[JDS Yakushima (MSC-658)]]

* [[JDS Ogishima (MSC-659)]]

* [[JDS Yugeshima (MSC-660)]]

* [[JDS Yurishima (MSC-661)]]

* [[JDS Ninoshima (MSC-662)]]
