USS Wateree

USS Wateree

Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS "Wateree", named most likely for the Wateree River.

* The first "Wateree" was a gunboat launched in 1863. She was badly damaged in an earthquake in Peru and after being sold, her hulk was apparently converted into an inn.
* The second "Wateree" (ATF-117) was a fleet ocean tug, launched in June 1944. She was badly damaged and sunk in November 1945.
* The third "Wateree" (ATA-174) was an auxiliary ocean tug, launched in 1943. She was unnamed until 1948, when she received the name "Wateree". She was sold to the Peruvian Navy in 1961, where she served as "Uranue" (ATA-136) until 1977 or 1978.
