USS YP-26
''YP-26'' was a former U.S. Coast Guard wooden patrol boat which saw later duty with the U.S. Navy until destroyed in a 1942 accident.
==History==
To combat the smuggling of alcohol during Prohibition following passage of the Volstead Act, the United States Coast Guard ordered hundreds of small purpose-built 75-foot wooden-hulled patrol boats in the 1920s. These became known as the "Six-Bitters". They were unnamed and numbered CG-100 through CG-302. "Their top speed was about 12 knots. Their 8 man crews consisted of a Chief Boatswain's Mate, or a Warrant Boatswain as OIC, along with two lower rated BM's, two Seaman and an engine room crew of a Chief Motor Machinist's Mate, and two lower rated MM's."〔Flynn, Jr., HMC James T., USNR (ret), "U. S. Coast Guard Small Cutters and Patrol Boats 1915 - 2012", 23 June 2014 (Revised Edition).〕〔http://www.uscg.mil/history/cutters/docs/Flynn_Small_Cutters_WPBs.pdf〕
Originally delivered by the Gibbs Gas Engine Co., Jacksonville, Florida, in 1925, one of 20 of the design produced by the yard,〔http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/5small/inactive/gibbs.htm〕 as ''CG-252'', the vessel became excess to Coast Guard needs when ratification of the 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition in December 1933, and a number of the class were turned over to the U.S. Navy. CG-252 was transferred in 1934, redesignated a Yard Patrol vessel, becoming ''YP-26''.〔http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/smallships/yp.htm〕
