USS Helenita (YP-2230) was a motorboat acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War I.

She was then loaned to the city of Norfolk before eventually being sold as excess to needs.

In August 1919 she was transferred to the City of Norfolk, Virginia, Department of Public Safety.

Transferred 30 August, Helenita served the city until 1 December 1922, when she was returned to the Navy at Norfolk.

She was finally sold to H. W. Bleckley, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 22 June 1923.
