The USS Alice (SP-367) was a United States Navy patrol vessel during World War I. Originally built as a private steam yacht in 1900, she was acquired by the U.S. Navy in May 1917 and commissioned in July of the same year. The ship was assigned to the 5th Naval District where she carried out patrol and escort duties in the Chesapeake Bay area. The USS Alice was armed with a single 3-inch gun and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare. After the war ended in 1918, the ship was decommissioned and returned to her original owner. She resumed her civilian duties as a private yacht until she was eventually sold in 1930. The USS Alice's service during World War I was relatively uneventful, with no major engagements or incidents recorded during her time in the Navy. Despite her brief military career, the USS Alice played a small but important role in the overall war effort by helping to patrol and protect the waters of the Chesapeake Bay from enemy threats.
