USS PC-1168

USS PC-1168

USS "PC-1168" was a PC-461 class subchaser of the United States Navy during World War II. "PC-1168" is notable for being the ship on which the motion picture "You're in the Navy Now" was filmed in 1950.

The "PC-1168" was laid down on April 3, 1943 at the Sullivan Dry Dock and Repair Company in Brooklyn, New York. She was launched on July 3 and commissioned December 3, 1943, one of 403 members of her class of 173-foot steel-hulled submarine chasers. These ships were of a flush-deck design similar to that of World War I "four-piper" destroyers, but were half the size and complement of their big sisters.
