USS PC-1217 was a PC-461-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War II.
PC-1217 had been decommissioned by 1948, and although sold for scrapping at that time, she remains at the former Donjon Marine Yard in Rossville, Staten Island.
She was launched on 26 September 1943, and commissioned on 27 April 1944 with Lieutenant Burt D. Reedy commanding and Lt(jg) Robert S. Bolles Exec.
During the late spring and summer of 1944, the 1217 (call sign NQXG) was assigned to convoy escort, anti-buzz-bomb and anti-submarine patrol duty with the Eastern Sea Frontier (the east coast from Canada down to Cuba).
This was one of the largest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded (Category 4) with estimated 140 mph (220 km/h) winds and a barometric low pressure of 27.75" (705 mmHg).
