U.S.S. Scorpion was an armed yacht purchased by the U.S. Navy in 1898 for service in the Spanish-American War.
Construction
Service
Scorpion served as station ship at Constantinople from 1908 through 1927.[8][9]
At the end of 1910 Scorpion had been sent to a private yard in Trieste for repairs, and her condition was thought poor enough to require a special inspection by a board of survey assembled for the purpose.[10]
Upon America's entry into the First World War, Scorpion was interned at Constantinople from 15 November, 1917 until 9 November, 1918.[11][12]
