USS YP-15

She was laid down at the Benton Harbor, Michigan shipyard of the Dachel-Carter Boat Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard.[2][3] She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore.[4] The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925.[4] She was commissioned in 1925 as CG-149.[2] On 15 November 1933, she was transferred to the United States Navy and designated as a Yard Patrol Craft (YP).[2] She was assigned to the First Naval District where she trained reservists.[2][1] In 1942, she was assigned to Newport, Rhode Island. In April 1944, she was assigned to Portland, Maine.[2] She was struck from the Naval List on 11 October 1945 and sold to the War Shipping Administration in July 1946.[2] In 1946, she was sold to the private sector, renamed Lady Pauline (ON 250877) and thereafter had a number of owners (Carl von Romerheim, 1948–1949; Raymond L. Conrad, 1949–1962; and James La Forge, 1962-1964).[2] She was scrapped in 1964.[2]
