USS Victor (SP-1995) was a Victor-class patrol boat acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of patrolling and defending the East Coast of the United States during World War I. Victor, a wooden-hulled motor-boat constructed at Camden, New Jersey, by Clement A. Troth, and completed in 1917, was leased by the Navy on 27 November 1917 from George H. Earle, Jr., of Haverford, Pennsylvania; and commissioned on 26 December 1917.

Not having a wireless, Victor hoisted distress signals—including an upside down national ensign—fired a gun to attract attention to her plight, and sounded her klaxon horn.

Meanwhile, her small boat was manned, lowered, and sent out to obtain assistance as the fire made enough headway to convince some on board that their chance of putting it out was slim.

The pilot, Ensign Weed, his clothes afire, stumbled from the blazing aircraft and plunged headlong into the water to extinguish the flames.

Victor remained on harbor entrance patrol duties at Cape May, New Jersey, until four days before the armistice which ended the war in Europe.
