USS Sturdy (PC-460)
USS ''Sturdy'' (PC-460/PYc-50) was an ''Sturdy''-class patrol boat acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of patrolling the coastal waters of the U.S. East Coast during World War II. Her primary task was to guard the coastal area against German submarines.
The second ship to be named ''Sturdy'' by the Navy, ex-''Elda'' was built in 1930 by the Consolidated Shipbuilding Corp., Morris Heights, Bronx, New York. The yacht was purchased from Mr. Arthur Davis of New York City on 4 September 1940 and converted for Navy use by the New York Navy Yard. She was commissioned as ''PC-460'' on 16 October 1940.

''PC-460'' was assigned to the Panama Canal Zone for patrol duty and arrived there on 13 November 1940. On 24 January 1942 PC-460 mistook submarine USS S-26 (SS-131) at night for a German U-boat. ''PC-460'' rammed and sank her in the Gulf of Panama, with the loss of 46 men. Three men in S-26's conning tower survived - the captain, his executive officer and a look-out. On 10 February 1942, she was assigned to the Panama Sea Frontier. On 31 January 1943, she sailed to Mobile, Alabama, for extensive repairs after which she returned to Panama. On 15 July 1943, she was named ''Sturdy'' and redesignated ''PYc-50''.
