USS Creddock (AM-356) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the United States Navy during World War II. The ship was ordered and laid down as PCE-905-class patrol craft USS PCE-916 but was renamed and reclassified before her July 1944 launch as Creddock (AM-356). Creddock was launched 22 July 1944 by Willamette Iron and Steel Works, Portland, Oregon; sponsored by Miss N. I. Schmidleys; and commissioned 18 December 1945, Lieutenant (junior grade) J. C. Elliott, USNR, in command. Creddock departed Astoria, Oregon, 6 January 1946 and arrived at San Diego, California, 4 days later. There she was placed out of commission in reserve 26 March 1946. Creddock was reclassified MSF-356 on 7 February 1955.
In 1967, Creddock was transferred to the Burmese Navy (later, the Myanmar Navy), where she is classed as a patrol corvette under the name UMS Yan Gyi Aung (M42); she is in active service, as of 2024[update].
