  • USS Talofa (SP-1016) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. Talofa was built in 1910 as a private steam yacht of the same name by George Lawley & Son at Neponset, Massachusetts. In April 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, Eben H. Ellison, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I; sources disagree on the date of acquisition, claiming both 16 and 28 April 1917. She was commissioned as USS Talofa (SP-1016); sources also disagree on her commissioning date, claiming both 16 April and 8 May 1917. Assigned to the 1st Naval District in northern New England, Talofa carried out patrol duties through the end of World War I and into 1919. The Navy returned Talofa to Ellison by no later than 24 April 1919, and her name subsequently was stricken from the Navy List.
