Atlantic II, a 303 gross ton schooner-rigged yacht, was built at New York in 1903. She was purchased by the Navy in May 1917 and placed in commission as USS Atlantic II (SP-651) in late July of that year. For most of the remainder of World War I, and into the postwar era, she served as antisubmarine net guard ship and submarine chaser tender in the vicinity of Yorktown, Virginia. Atlantic II (SP-651) was decommissioned in June and sold in July 1919.
This page features the only views we have of the yacht Atlantic II, which was USS Atlantic II (SP-651) in 1917-1919.
