USS ''SC-20'', until July 1920 known as USS ''Submarine Chaser No. 20'' or USS ''S.C. 20'', was an ''SC-1''-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War I. ''SC-17'' was a wooden-hulled 110-foot (34 m) submarine chaser built at the New York Navy Yard at Brooklyn, New York. She was commissioned on 18 October 1917 as USS ''Submarine Chaser No. 20'', abbreviated at the time as USS ''S.C. 20''. ''S.C. 20'' was assigned to the Third Naval District for patrol duties during World War I. When the U.S. Navy adopted its modern hull number system on 17 July 1920, ''Submarine Chaser No. 20'' was classified as SC-20 and her name was shortened to USS ''SC-20''. Sometime in 1920, the Navy transferred ''SC-20'' to the United States Department of War for service with the United States Army. == References == * * (NavSource Online: Submarine Chaser Photo Archive: SC-20 ) * (The Subchaser Archives: The History of U.S. Submarine Chasers in the Great War Hull number: SC-20 ) * Woofenden, Todd A.
