The second USS ''Viking'' (SP-3314) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in service from 1918 to 1919. ''Viking'' was built in 1915 as the motorboat ''Caesar'' by the U.S. Navy and sold to civilian civilian owner soon afterwards without seeing any naval service. ''Caesar'' later was renamed ''Viking'' while under private ownership. She operated at Norfolk, Virginia, while in private use. On 5 September 1918, the U.S. Navy inspected ''Viking'' for possible naval service, and on 24 September 1918 acquired her from her owner, Mrs. E. S. Wood, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She served as USS ''Viking'' (SP-3314), probably in a non-commissioned status. Assigned to the 5th Naval District, ''Viking'' operated in the vicinity of Norfolk, presumably on patrol duties, at least through the end of World War I. On 2 February 1919, the United States Secretary of the Navy authorized the Commandant of the 5th Naval District to dispose of ''Viking'' as junk. She was stricken from the Navy List on 19 February 1919 and sold on 20 February 1919. ==References== * *(Department of the Navy Naval History and Heritage Command Online Library of Selected Images: Civilian Ships: ''Viking'' (American Motor Boat, 1915).
