USS Letter B (SP-732)
USS ''Letter B'' (SP-732) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
''Letter B'' was built in 1912 as a private "runabout"-type motorboat of the same name by the Electric Launch Company (ELCO) at Bayonne, New Jersey. On 7 May 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, C. Chester Eaton of Brockton, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol vessel during World War I. Enrolled in the Naval Coast Defense Reserve on 10 May 1917, she was commissioned as USS ''Letter B'' (SP-732) on 20 October 1917 at Norfolk, Virginia, with Quartermaster First Class L. C. Chamberlain, USNRF, in command.
Assigned to the 5th Naval District, ''Letter B'' served as a harbor and shore patrol boat at Norfolk and Hampton Roads, Virginia, for the rest of World War I . She also served as a duty and emergency boat for seaplanes at Naval Air Station Norfolk.
The Navy returned ''Letter B'' to Eaton on 29 April 1919.
