USS Arabian, a 87-foot steam harbor tug, was built in 1896 at Camden, New Jersey, for civilian employment. Active in the vicinity of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was leased by the Navy in October 1918 and placed in service in early November. With the end of World War I eliminating any further need for her, Arabian was placed out of service at the end of January 1919 and returned to her owner.
This page features our only view of USS Arabian (1918-1919).
