USS Arvilla

USS "Arvilla" (SP-752) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
"Arvilla" was built as a private motorboat of the same name by Joe Fellows at Wilmington, Delaware. In 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, Harry Fisher of San Diego, California, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned on 5 May 1917 as USS "Arvilla" (SP-752), although the Navy did not actually take possession of her from Fisher until 24 June 1917.
Assigned to the 12th Naval District, "Arvilla" was tasked with patrol duties in San Diego Harbor and environs. While patrolling on 2 August 1917, she sank after the fishing vessel "Higo" accidentally rammed her. Raised and repaired, she returned to her patrol duties, which she carried out for the remainder of World War I.
"Arvilla" was decommissioned in January 1919. She was stricken from the Navy List on 12 March 1919 and returned to Fisher the same day.
