USS Hector, a 11,230-ton collier, was built at Sparrows Point, Maryland. Commissioned in October 1909, she was primarily employed in transporting coal for the Atlantic Fleet throughout her brief career. In addition, during early 1915 she carried the small submarines A-3, A-5 and B-1 from the United States to the Philippines. USS Hector was wrecked off the U.S. Atlantic Coast on 14 July 1916.
