USS Shoveller, an 890-ton Auk class minesweeper, was built at Chickasaw, Alabama. Commissioned in May 1945, she sailed for the Pacific a few months later, as World War II was coming to an end. From October 1945 to April 1946, Shoveller was employed clearing minefields around Japan. She then returned to the United States, and was decommissioned in November 1946.

The Korean War crisis brought Shoveller back into active service in July 1951. Following operations off the U.S. West Coast, she was sent to the Far East, serving off Korea from May 1952 until late in the year, when she left for home. Shoveller again deployed to the Western Pacific in October 1954 and took part in the Tachen Islands evacuation in February 1955. In that month, she was reclassified MSF-382. Her deployment ended the following June. After another year of West Coast service, she was decommissioned in September 1956. USS Shoveller was loaned to Peru in November 1960 and sold to that nation in 1974. She served in the Peruvian Navy and Coast Guard as Diez Canseco until 1981.
