USS Edithena, a 75-foot patrol boat, was built in 1914 at Morris Heights, New York, for use as a civilian pleasure craft. She was purchased by the Navy in June 1917 and commissioned soon afterwards. Through the rest of World War I, and during the first months of peace that followed the November 1918 Armistice, she performed patrol duties in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts. USS Edithena was stricken from the Navy list in October 1919 and later transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries.
