USS Pivot (AM-276), an {{sclass-|Admirable|minesweeper}}, was the first ship of the United States Navy named Pivot. She was built at the Gulf Shipbuilding Corporation, Chickasaw, Alabama.

Mrs. Clara L. Prouty christened Pivot on 11 November 1943.

Her trials started 12 July 1944 in the Gulf of Mexico and initial training was in the Chesapeake Bay.

After shakedown ended 10 September, the new minesweeper operated with the Atlantic Fleet training and patrolling until sailing for the Pacific early in April 1945. She transited the Panama Canal on 10 April 1945; and after training in Hawaiian waters reached the war zone in time for mine sweeping operations in the Ryukyus soon after the conquest of Okinawa.

She supported Admiral Marc Mitscher's Fast Carrier Task Force during the deadly strikes against Japan in July and operated in Korean waters after Japan's surrender. She returned to Okinawa late in October and resumed sweeping operations in the Ryukyus.

She received four battle stars for World War II.

Pivot was decommissioned 6 November 1946 at Subic Bay, Philippines. She was sold to Taiwan 27 August 1948 and renamed ROCS Yung Shou. On 1 July 1970, Yung Shou was decommissioned.
