USS Tech III (SP-1055)
USS ''Tech III'' (SP-1055) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from August to October 1917. ''Tech III'' was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1916 by Adolph Apel at Atlantic City, New Jersey. On 6 August 1917, the U.S. Navy leased her from her owner, the engineer and politician T. Coleman du Pont (1863–1930) of Wilmington, Delaware, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned on 7 August 1917 as USS ''Tech III'' (SP-1055). Assigned to the 4th Naval District, ''Tech III'' served on patrol duties there. Although Navy inspectors had described her as a "Very fast and desirable boat for general use" prior to her acquisition, she apparently proved unsatisfactory, and her service ended after less than months. ''Tech III'' was decommissioned on 19 October 1917 and ordered returned to du Pont "when repaired". [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
