USS Raboco (SP-310)

USS Raboco (SP-310) was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919. Raboco was built as a civilian motorboat of the same name in 1913 by the Racine Boat Company at Racine, Wisconsin. The U.S. Navy acquired Raboco on a free lease from her owner, Harry C. Good of Moline, Illinois, on 19 May 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel. Sources agree that she was commissioned as USS Raboco (SP-310) on 5 July 1917 with Ensign Edward A. Green, USNRF, in command; however, one source also states that she was delivered to the Navy on 7 July 1917, raising the possibility that 7 July might have been her true commissioning date.
