USS Vision, a 67 ½ foot motor boat, was built at Harrisburg, Texas, in 1910 for use as a pleasure craft. The boat was obtained by the Navy under lease in August 1917 and placed in commission at that time. She performed patrol service along the Texas coast for the rest of World War I. Vision was decommissioned and returned to her owner in mid-December 1918.
This page features our only views of USS Vision (SP-1114), which was originally the civilian motor boat Vision.
