USS SC-99 (1918-1921)

USS SC-99, a 110-foot SC-1 class submarine chaser built at Bayonne, New Jersey, was commissioned in early March 1918. Later in that year she crossed the Atlantic to the European war zone. SC-99 returned to the United States in August 1919, was placed out of commission at New York City in September and stricken from the Navy list early in October of that year. Sold in April 1920, she was repossessed a few months later and resold in May 1921.

This page features all the views we have concerning USS SC-99.
