USS Snark

USS Snark was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
Snark was built in 1917 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company at Bristol, Rhode Island, as a private motorboat for Carl Tucker of New York City, one of nine 62-foot 4-inch motorboats the company built for private owners specifically for use as patrol boats in time of war. Accordingly, the U.S. Navy acquired Snark under a free lease from Tucker in 1917 for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Snark on 30 August 1917.
Assigned to the 5th Naval District, Snark carried out patrol duties for the rest of World War I and until March 1919.
Snark was stricken from the Navy List on 29 March 1919 and was returned to Tucker the same day.
