USS ''Narada'' (SP-161) was a yacht that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919. ''Narada'' was built as the wooden-hulled, steam-powered civilian yacht SS ''Semiramis'' by Ramsey and Ferguson at Leith, Scotland, being launched on 30 May 1889. She later was renamed SS ''Margarita'' and then SS ''Narada''. The U.S. Navy purchased ''Narada'' from her owner, Mr. Henry D. Walters of Baltimore, Maryland, on 30 June 1917 for use as a patrol vessel during World War I. She was commissioned on 12 October 1917 as USS ''Narada'' (SP-161) with Lieutenant Charles Rodstrom in command. During her entire period of naval service, ''Narada'' was based at New London, Connecticut, for experimental submarine signal work. After completion of this service, ''Narada'' departed for New York City, arriving there on 13 January 1919. She was decommissioned the same day and returned to her owner on 4 February 1919. ==See also== *Narada for the origin of her name 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 Narada (SP-161)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
