USS YP-49

USS YP-49 was a United States Navy patrol boat. She was originally built as a fishing vessel and acquired by the Navy for service during World War II. YP-49 was commissioned into the Navy and assigned to patrol duties along the U.S. coastline. These patrol boats were used for a variety of tasks, including coastal surveillance, anti-submarine patrols, and escort duty. The "YP" designation stood for "Yard Patrol Craft." Specific details regarding her wartime service, such as encounters with enemy vessels or precise geographical patrol areas, are somewhat limited in publicly available documentation. After the war, many YP boats, including USS YP-49, were decommissioned and either sold off or returned to civilian use.
