USS Arcadia (ID-1605)
The second USS ''Arcadia'' (ID-1605) was a troop transport that served in the United States Navy from January to September 1919.
==Construction, acquisition, and commissioning==
''Arcadia'' was built as the German commercial steamer SS ''Arcadia'' in 1896 by Harland and Wolff at Belfast, Ireland. Upon the outbreak of World War I in Europe in early August 1914, ''Arcadia'' sought refuge from Allied forces in the United States, where she remained inactive through the period of American neutrality in the war. After the United States entered the war on the side of the Allies on 6 April 1917, the United States Customs Service seized her as enemy property and turned her over to the United States Shipping Board. Armed with two 3-inch (76.2-mm) guns manned by a United States Navy Armed Guard detachment, SS ''Arcadia'' operated under Shipping Board auspices for the remainder of World War I. After the war ended, ''Arcadia''s guns were removed at Baltimore, Maryland, on 4 December 1918, and her naval armed guard detachment was transferred off of the ship.
On 20 January 1919, ''Arcadia'' was transferred to the U.S. Navy for service with the Cruiser and Transport Force. Assigned the naval registry identification number 1605, she was commissioned the same day as USS ''Arcadia'' (ID-1605) with Lieutenant Commander Peter F. Johnsen, USNRF, in command.
