Summary

Description
English: United States Navy patrol vessel USS Surveyor (1917), possibly at the time of her completion for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as a survey ship in 1917

Surveyor (Coast and Geodetic Survey Ship, 1917) Served as USS Surveyor in 1917-1919.

Surveyor, a 1000 ton (displacement) surveying ship, was completed for the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey by the Manitowoc (Wisconsin) Ship Building Co. in 1917. She was transferred to the U.S. Navy in September 1917 and commissioned in October 1917 as USS Surveyor (with no ID #). Ordered to Gibraltar, she served overseas through the end of World War I. Her armament was ordered removed in January 1919, and in March 1919 the ship was returned to the Department of Commerce to resume operations for the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Between the World Wars she worked primarily in Alaskan waters. She remained in USC&GS; service in the Pacific until 1956.
Date Probably 1917
