Help identifying ship with 27 Hull Number ID (DMS-27)

[all-bull]

Hello

Can someone please tell me what ship this? I am not having much luck on the internet. I like the photo of the Trieste connection, so I would like to learn more about this ship. I found some number 27s, but could not find where any were in that area, or they were decommissioned before 1952. Thanks a lot!!

[Salvage Sailor]

Gleaves Class (converted) Destroyer Mine Sweeper USS JEFFERS (DMS-27)

 

The next year was spent at Charleston, except for a training cruise to Guantanamo Bay in March. She got underway again, however, 9 January 1951 for another cruise to the troubled Mediterranean. She visited Oran, Palermo, Athens, and Naples during this deployment, again taking part in U.S. 6th Fleet's important peace-keeping operations. Arriving Charleston 17 May 1951, Jeffers engaged in minesweeping and antisubmarine exercises until her next scheduled Mediterranean cruise, 5 June 1952. She operated with 6th Fleet carriers and destroyers until returning to her home port 13 October.
