USS ''Vencedor'' (SP-669) 〔The ''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships'' incorrectly states that ''Vencedor''s section patrol number was 699. In fact, the number 699 belonged to .〕 was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918. ''Vencedor'' was built as the private motorboat ''Tekla'' by George Lawley & Son at Neponset, Massachusetts, in 1909. She later was renamed ''Vencedor''. On 19 June 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired ''Vencedor'' under a free lease from her owner, Herbert H. Luedinghaus, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard in Brooklyn, New York, as USS ''Vencedor'' (SP-669) on 30 August 1917 with Ensign David Crow, USNRF, in command. Assigned to the 3rd Naval District and operating from Section Base No. 6, ''Vencedor'' carried out harbor patrol duties into the summer of 1918. She then changed roles and began towing targets and operating as a dispatch boat for the rest of World War I. ''Vencedor'' was decommissioned at City Island in the Bronx, New York, on 26 February 1919 and returned to Luedinghaus. Sources differ on the date of her return to Luedinghams, stating both 25〔(Department of the Navy Naval History and Heritage Command Online Library of Selected Images: U.S. Navy Ships: USS ''Vencedor'' (SP-669), 1917-1919.
