Akbar, a 72.5-foot motor pleasure boat, was built at Camden, New Jersey, in 1915. She was purchased by the State of Maine for patrol use and transferred to the Navy in May 1917. Placed in commission as USS Akbar (SP-599), she served in Maine waters for the rest of World War I. The craft was decommissioned in January 1919 and sold a year later.
