''YMS-1''-class ships were relatively small compared to larger contemporary [[US Navy]] ships. This led to a view by some sailors that the YMS-designated ships were cramped and particularly unsteady. These conditions were described (and surely exaggerated) by one author in a humorous poem "warning" other sailors to not transfer:
{{poem quote|text=''"Men don't live on YMS's
they just exist under strains and stresses,
tossed around like a bundle of peas,
inside their ship on the calmest seas."|sign=Anonymous|title="A Plug for a Distinguished Nervuos Cross"<ref name=navsrcYMSidx />}}
