USS Felicia (PYc-35)

USS Felicia (PYc-35) was a yacht acquired by the United States Navy during World War II.

The second ship to be so named by the U.S. Navy, Felicia (PYC-35) was built in 1931 by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; purchased by the Navy on 8 April 1942; and commissioned on 27 June 1942.

Felicia was assigned to the 2nd Naval District and was based at Newport, Rhode Island, out of which she sailed on anti-submarine patrols, until 16 December 1943.

From that time, she operated locally out of Boston, Massachusetts, harbor as a school ship, training student naval officers enrolled at Harvard University.

She was decommissioned on 10 August 1945, and transferred to the Maritime Commission on 23 October 1945.
