Bond is a noun denoting a binding force or influence.

Bond (AMc-129) was reclassified AM-152, 21 February 1942; launched 21 October 1942 by Willamette Iron and Steel Corp., Portland, Oreg.; commissioned 30 August 1943, Lieutenant C. L. Grabenhorst, USNR, in command; and reported to the Pacific Fleet.

Between 2 October and 20 November 1943 Bond operated at San Pedro, Calif., and then steamed to the Aleutian Islands, via Pearl Harbor, arriving at Adak 13 December.

On 29 June 1944 she left Dutch Harbor and steamed to San Francisco arriving 7 June.

After repairs, Bond departed San Francisco 8 August 1944 for Saipan, Marianas Islands, via Pearl Harbor and Eniwetok. Between 2 and 28 September she patrolled in the vicinity of Saipan and then commenced convoy escort operations between Saipan, Ulithi, Guam, and Eniwetok.
