USS McKee (Torpedo Boat # 18), 1898-1920

USS McKee, a 65-ton MacKenzie class torpedo boat built at Baltimore, Maryland, was commissioned in May 1898. She performed coast defense service out of New York City during the Spanish-American War. McKee was thereafter assigned to the Newport Torpedo Station, Rhode Island, except for a brief period out of commission in 1903-1904 and duty at New York in 1907-1910. Decommissioned in January 1912 and stricken from the Navy List a few months later, her hulk was used as a target until 1920, when she was scuttled near Craney Island, Virginia.

USS McKee was named in honor of Lieutenant Hugh W. McKee, who was killed in action in Korea in June 1871.
