USS Arval

USS "Arval" (SP–1045) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
"Arval" was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1911 by the Stamford Motor Construction Company at Stamford, Connecticut. On 1 November 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, Donald N. Test, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned the same day at Chicago, Illinois, as USS "Arval" (SP-1045) with Ensign Franklin Smith, USNRF, in command.
"Arval" departed Chicago on the day of her commissioning and arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, on 7 November 1917. Assigned to the 6th Naval District section patrol and based at Wilmington, North Carolina, "Arval" patrolled the coastal waters of North Carolina through the end of World War I.
In January 1919, "Arval" moved north to New York City. She was decommissioned and returned to her owner on 27 February 1919, and stricken from the Navy List the same day.
