USS SC-2


USS SC-2, until July 1920 known as USS Submarine Chaser No. 2 or USS S.C. 2, was an SC-1-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War I.
SC-2 was a wooden-hulled 110-foot submarine chaser built at Naval Station New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was commissioned on 8 January 1918 as USS Submarine Chaser No. 2, abbreviated at the time as USS S.C. 2.
For a time the ship was under temporary command of Medal of Honor recipient Isadore Nordstrom.
During World War I, S.C. 2 served on antisubmarine patrol duty in the Special Hunting Squadron, Group, against German submarines in the Gulf of Mexico, and was based at Key West, Florida.
When the U.S. Navy adopted its modern hull number system on 17 July 1920, Submarine Chaser No. 2 was classified as SC-2 and her name was shortened to USS SC-2.
On 29 October 1930, the Navy sold SC-2 to the City of New Orleans, Louisiana.
