The USS Resolute (SP-3003) was a patrol vessel commissioned by the United States Navy during World War I. Originally built as a private yacht in 1893, the ship was acquired by the Navy in 1917 and served as a patrol vessel along the east coast of the United States during the war. The USS Resolute was armed with deck guns for defense against enemy threats and was also used for training purposes. After the war, the ship was returned to its original owners and resumed its civilian duties as a yacht. In 1939, the USS Resolute was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy once again for service during World War II. During this time, the ship was used for patrol and escort duties in the Caribbean and along the east coast of the United States. Following the end of World War II, the USS Resolute was decommissioned and returned to its civilian owners. The ship continued to operate as a private yacht until it was eventually sold and scrapped in the 1950s. The USS Resolute's service in both World War I and World War II highlights its adaptability and flexibility as a patrol vessel, transitioning between military and civilian roles throughout its operational history.
