USS ''Karibou'' (SP-200) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. ''Karibou'' was built as the civilian motorboat ''Lebanon'' in either 1911〔Per the ''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships'' (at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/k1/karibou.htm) and NavSource Online (at http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/170200.htm).〕 or 1913〔Per the Navy History and Heritage Command Online Library of Selected Images (at http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-civil/civsh-k/karibou.htm).〕 by the Salisbury Marine Construction Company at Salibsury, Maryland. She later was renamed ''Karibou''. The U.S. Navy chartered ''Karibou'' from her owner, Harwood Spencer of Asheville, North Carolina, on 17 May 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel. She was commissioned as USS ''Karibou'' (SP-200) on 18 May 1917 with Boatswain Albert Miller, USNRF, in command. Assigned to the 5th Naval District at Norfolk, Virginia, ''Karibou'' served as an armed guard patrol craft in the harbors of Norfolk and Newport News, Virginia. She acted as a mail and dispatch boat along the lower reaches of the James River and the York River and patrolled Atlantic coastal waters from Norfolk to Virginia Beach, Virginia. ''Karibou'' was decommissioned on 5 February 1919, and was returned to her former owner the same day. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Karibou (SP-200)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
