USS Beluga (SP-536) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918. Beluga was built in 1911 as a private motorboat Gaviota by the Greenport Basin & Construction Company at Greenport on Long Island, New York. She later was renamed Beluga. On 14 May 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired Beluga under a free lease from her owner, Mr. J. Henry Herring of New Bedford, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol vessel during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Beluga (SP-536) on 15 May 1917. Beluga was stricken from the Navy List on 25 November 1918 and returned to Herring.
