The fifth USS "Ranger" (SP-237) was an armed yacht that served in the U.S. Navy from 1917 to 1919, and then in the Department of Commerce from 1919 to 1930.

SP-237 operated as a patrol craft in the Third Naval District until she was decommissioned on 28 April 1919 and transferred to the Coast and Geodetic Survey Office in the Department of Commerce. She served with the Department of Commerce until 26 November 1930, when she was returned to the U.S. Navy. She was struck from the Navy List on 4 September 1931 and sold on 21 December 1931.

In 1932, registry of the vessel was transferred to Panama.
