USS Ameera (SP-453) was a United States Navy Section patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.

Ameera was built as an express cruiser in 1917 by the Mathis Yacht Building Company at Camden, New Jersey from Bowes and Mower designs for Alexander Sellers of Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

[3][4] Contemporary Navy data shows the vessel had a 1,000 gallon fuel capacity for a cruising range of 400 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 25 knots (29 mph; 46 km/h) powered by two Dusenberg six cylinder engines driving two propellers.

[5] On 23 July 1917, the U.S. Navy purchased Ameera for $31,000 for use as a section patrol vessel during World War I.

[6] On the night of 28 May 1920 a major fire at the Essington Shipbuilding Company lying just south of Philadelphia destroyed buildings and numerous boats, including almost total destruction of Ameera.
