The Caine is a Minesweeper. Two references are made as to her being made of steel "rust is holding her together" and a comment about that she should be scrapped to make razor blades. Minesweepers have wooden hulls.The USS Caine is a Destroyer/Minesweeper (DMS), a Destroyer converted to mine-laying/mine-sweeping duty, and therefore, would be made of steel. Only ships built specifically for mine-sweeping duty would be made of a non-magnetic material, i.e., wood. In the novel, the Caine is an old WWI "four poster" destroyer, with four (4) funnels (smokestacks), not the much later two-funnel design used in the film, so converting an old, obsolete WWI-era ship for emergency use in WWII would be expected, to free up more modern ships for front line combat duty.
