The 50-foot motor pleasure boat Rondo, built in Maryland in 1915, was acquired by the Navy in June 1917 for World War I service. Commissioned as USS Rondo (SP-90) in mid-November 1917, she was assigned to section patrol duty in the Florida Keys area. The craft was renamed SP-90 in April 1918. While awaiting sale, she was destroyed by a hurricane at Key West in September 1919.
This page features our only views of the motor boat Rondo and USS Rondo (SP-90).
