USS Wave (YFB-10) was a United States Navy steel-hulled ferryboat that was commissioned in 1916 and struck in 1938.
She was launched on 31 August 1916, completed in November 1916, and delivered to the Naval Training Station, in Newport, RI in the spring of 1917.
[2] Soon after being placed in service, Wave was assigned to the Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island.
That may have been her only assignment since the few records of her service extant suggest that she served in the 2nd Naval District, which contained Newport until it was disbanded, and then in the 1st Naval District, which inherited Newport, throughout the remainder of her active career.
In July 1920, as the Navy instituted its alphanumeric hull classification system, she received the designation YFB-10.
