USS Amber (PYc-6)
USS Amber (PYc-6) was a patrol boat in the United States Navy during World War II, built at Long Beach, California in 1930 as the yacht ''Infanta'' for the actor John Barrymore.
==Private yacht==
''Infanta'' was designed by Ted Geary and built by the Craig Shipbuilding Company in Long Beach, California for John Barrymore as a present to his wife, actress Dolores Costello. The keel was laid on 15 September 1929, launched on 16 January 1930 and named in honour of the couple's expected first child, Dee Dee Barrymore.〔 The motor yacht was originally measured as 118 feet in length and with a tonnage of 253 GRT. Power was from two 275bhp Atlas-Imperial diesels driving twin propellers〔 The Barrymore's used the yacht sparingly, due to his preference for the simpler pleasures of his sailboat and his increasing alcoholism.〔 By 18 July 1935 ''Infanta'' composed most of Barrymore's net worth, being assessed at $56,350 of his net $56,575. In 1937 the yacht, then valued at $75,000 was auctioned to satisfy a mortgage. The yacht was subsequently renamed ''Polaris'' by owners Edward and Kathryn Lowe of San Francisco and home-ported at Juneau, Alaska.〔
