USS Jamestown (PG-55)
USS ''Jamestown'' (PG-55) was a patrol gunboat and after 13 January 1943 a ''Jamestown''-class motor torpedo boat tender acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. Her task in her final classification was to provide a “home base” for torpedo boats in remote parts of the ocean during the war, and to provide them with necessary services, such as fuel, food, and repairs.
''Jamestown'' was built as ''Savarona'' in 1928 by Pusey & Jones Corp., Wilmington, Delaware, for Mrs. Thomas S. Cadwallader of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While Mrs. Cadwallader operated her, ''Savarona'' was said to be the largest and most luxurious yacht in the world. Colonel William Boyce Thompson purchased the palatial vessel in 1929 and renamed her ''Alder'' prior to his daughter donating the vessel to the U.S. Navy.
== Yacht acquired by the Navy ==
''Alder'' was donated to the U.S. Navy at New York on 6 December 1940; converted into a gunboat in the Fletcher Division Shipyard of Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co., Hoboken, New Jersey; renamed ''Jamestown'' and designated ''PG-55''; and commissioned at New York Navy Yard 26 May 1941, Comdr. A. P. Lawton in command.
