USS Arabia (ID # 3434)


Hauled out of the water, probably while undergoing a formal material inspection at Boston, Massachusetts, circa 23 September 1918.
This fishing schooner was acquired by the Navy on 13 August 1918 and commissioned the next day to serve as a decoy vessel in the World War I anti-submarine effort. She was stricken on 27 March 1919 and sold on 11 November 1919.
