USS Scorpion (PY-3)
The fourth USS ''Scorpion'' was a steam yacht in commission in the United States Navy from 1898 to 1899, 1899 to 1901, and 1902 to 1927.
==Construction and acquisition==
''Scorpion'' was built in 1896 as ''Sovereign'', a two-masted schooner-rigged, 775-ton, steel steam yacht, for M.C.D. Borden by John N. Robins, South Brooklyn, New York. She was powered by a pair of triple expansion steam engines, with cylinders of 15, 24 and 39 inches by 21-inch stroke, built by the W. & A. Fletcher Co. of Hoboken, New Jersey. Steam was supplied by two Babcock & Wilcox boilers at a working pressure of 225 pounds. The engines reportedly developed 2500 indicated horsepower and in an 1896 race with the steamer ''Monmouth''—said to be the second fastest steamer in New York—''Sovereign'' won handily.
The U.S. Navy purchased her on 7 April 1898 for service in the Spanish–American War. Renamed USS ''Scorpion'', she was commissioned on 11 April 1898 with Lieutenant Commander Adolph Marix in command.
