Hazegray.org Bond states that Bond was named T-593 in Soviet service, but more recent research in Russell, Richard A., Project Hula: Secret Soviet-American Cooperation in the War Against Japan, Washington, D.C.: Naval Historical Center, 1997, ISBN0-945274-35-1, pp. 39–40, which includes access to Soviet-era records unavailable during the Cold War, finds that the ship's Soviet name was T-285, while an auxiliary motor minesweeper, the former USS YMS-38, also transferred in 1945, had the Soviet name T-593. As sources, Russell cites Department of the Navy, Ships Data: U.S. Naval Vessels Volume II, 1 January 1949, (NAVSHIPS 250-012), Washington, DC: Bureau of Ships, 1949; and Berezhnoi, S.

hazegray.org Bond states that the ship, which it identifies in Soviet service as T-593, probably was scrapped in 1956, but more recent research in Russell, Richard A., Project Hula: Secret Soviet-American Cooperation in the War Against Japan, Washington, D.C.: Naval Historical Center, 1997, ISBN0-945274-35-1, p. 39, reports that the ship's Soviet name was T-285 and states that T-285 was scrapped in 1960. As sources, Russell cites Department of the Navy, Ships Data: U.S. Naval Vessels Volume II, 1 January 1949, (NAVSHIPS 250-012), Washington, DC: Bureau of Ships, 1949; and Berezhnoi, S. S., Flot SSSR: Korabli i suda lendliza: Spravochnik ("The Soviet Navy: Lend-Lease Ships and Vessels: A Reference"), St. Petersburg, Russia: Belen, 1994. Russell, p. 40., also states that T-593 – a Soviet name previously attributed to Bond but now identified as belonging to the former USS YMS-38 – was scrapped in 1955, and this suggests that confusion over the identity of the two ships may have led to the confusion over their scrapping dates, although it does not explain why hazegray.org asserts a 1956 probably scrapping date for the ship.
