''Fisheries II'' was a vessel requisitioned by the United States Navy during the defense of the Philippines during World War II. The vessel was "in service" and not commissioned. ==World War II service== She was in service from 8 December 1941 until she was scuttled at Corregidor on 5 May 1942 to prevent her capture by the Japanese. The vessel was apparently never formally commissioned as a United States Ship (U.S.S.) nor given an official designation but is shown in ''U.S. Navy and Coast Guard Vessels, Sunk or Damaged Beyond Repair during World War II, 7 December 1941-1 October 1945'' under "Converted Patrol Vessels" along with and another converted yacht, ''Perry''.〔 After 13 December 1941 ''Fisheries II'' was assigned to the Base Section of the Inshore Patrol of the United States Asiatic Fleet. ''Fisheries II'' was commanded by Chief Boatswain James Charles Oster.〔http://www.asiaticfleet.com/orbat.htm〕 After destruction of facilities at Cavite Navy Yard on 10 December 1941 ''Fisheries II'' moved with Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three to Sisiman Bay〔Sometimes "Sisiman Cove" in U.S. Naval references of the time, but geographically known as ("Sisiman Bay" ) just to the east of Mariveles.〕 on the Bataan Peninsula where the commandeered tug ''Trabajador'' served as tender to the squadron. Despite the need to patrol in pairs in the event one PT needed assistance from another the critical shortage of spares and fuel often prevented such paring so that one of the small converted patrol yachts, ''Maryann'', ''Perry'', or ''Fisheries II'' was used to accompany the PT.〔 On 10 March the last PT boats departed south with General MacArthur with increased Japanese naval activity in the vicinity of the entrances to Manila Bay.〔 She was officially credited with one battle star for her participation in the defense of the Philippines.〔Navy and Marine Corps Awards Manual. NAVPERS 15,790 (Rev. 1953) pg. 77.〕
