USS Venetia
USS ''Venetia'' (SP-431) was a large 589 gross ton steam yacht leased by the U.S. Navy during World War I. She was heavily armed with four guns and depth charges, and was assigned duties of a patrol craft, escorting ships in convoy on the North Atlantic Ocean, and protecting those ships from German submarine attack. ''Venetia'' was awarded a "star of reward" for her antisubmarine work, and mounted the star on her stack. Post-war she was restored to her original civilian configuration, and was returned to her owner. == A yacht built in Scotland ==
''Venetia''—a single-screw, steel-hulled steam yacht built in 1904 at Leith, Scotland, by Hawthorne and Company to plans drawn up by the designers Cox and King—was acquired by the U.S. Navy on 4 August 1917 from industrialist John Diedrich Spreckles for use as a patrol craft. Designated SP-431 and fitted out at the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, California, ''Venetia'' was commissioned at Mare Island on 15 October 1917, Comdr. Lewis B. Porterfield in command.
