High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Nirvana II (SP-204) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918. Nirvana II was built as a civilian motorboat of the same name in 1916 by Brett Brothers at West Lynn, Massachusetts. The U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, J. Hartley Merrick of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 18 May 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel. She was commissioned as USS Nirvana II (SP-204) the same day with Lieutenant, junior grade, Frederic M. Gardner in command. Nirvana II was assigned to the 4th Naval District, headquartered at Philadelphia, during the war, alternating between the Northern Parol Area and the Southern Patrol Area along the United States East Coast. The routine was interrupted in June 1917 when she took to high seas patrol from 9 to 12 June and dispatch boat duty from 13 to 16 June. In September 1917, she joined the Special Cruising Squadron, adding status to her patrol duties.
