USS Owaissa (SP-659)
USS ''Owaissa'' (SP-659) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
''Owaissa'' was built as the private motorboat ''Marie'' by the New York Yacht, Launch & Engine Company at Morris Heights in the Bronx, New York, in 1912. She later was renamed ''Owaissa''.
On 11 July 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired ''Owaissa'' under a free lease from her owner, E. B. Dickerson, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned as USS ''Owaissa'' (SP-659) on 6 November 1917.
Assigned to the 1st Naval District in northern New England, ''Owaissa'' carried out patrol duties for the rest of World War I. She initially patrolled around Woods Hole, Massachusetts, speaking to various vessels to determine their identities. She spent the summer of 1918 on outward patrol, working with the patrol boats USS ''Patrol No. 6'' (SP-54), USS ''Rhebal'' (SP-1195), and USS ''Felicia'' (SP-642), the submarine chaser , and a patrol boat with the section patrol number SP-50 of which no records have been found. In August 1918 ''Owaissa'' began to patrol Vineyard Sound.
In December 1918, ''Owaissa'' proceeded to Newport, Rhode Island, then moved on to the New York Yacht Club dock. After decommissioning at the Material Section Dock, she was returned to Dickerson on 3 January 1919.
