USS PCE-893, 1944-1947

USS PCE-893, a 185-foot escort vessel, was built at Portland, Oregon. Commissioned in July 1944, she served along the west coast and in Alaskan waters during the rest of World War II. In September 1945, PCE-893 was assigned to the Philippine Sea Frontier for weather and plane-guard duties. She was based at New Orleans, Louisiana, from mid-1947. PCE-893 decommissioned and was stricken from the list of Naval vessels on 20 November 1947. Turned over to Cuba the same day, she served in that nation's navy under the name Siboney until 1973.
