USS YP-17

USS YP-17 was a United States Navy patrol boat (YP) during World War II. Originally built as a commercial fishing vessel, she was acquired by the Navy and commissioned for coastal patrol and anti-submarine warfare duties. YP-17 served primarily in the Pacific theater. Specific details of her service history, including her construction date, builder, and ultimate fate (whether she was sunk, decommissioned, or sold) are not readily available in easily accessible public records. Her class is generally understood to be small, wooden-hulled craft converted for wartime service. The "YP" designation indicated a yard patrol craft, typically used for inshore duties.
