USS Katrina

USS Katrina (SP-1144) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.

Katrina was built in 1913 as a private wooden steam yacht of the same name by George Lawley & Son at Neponset, Massachusetts.

On 18 May 1917, the U.S. Navy chartered her from her owner, Mrs. Anna C. Ewing of Yonkers, New York, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I.

Initially assigned to the Bar Harbor Section Patrol at Bar Harbor, Maine, Katrina served on patrol duty, tended lookout stations, and served as an icebreaker.

While there, she was placed in full commission on 22 June 1917 and enrolled in the Naval Coast Defense Reserve on 28 July 1917.
