USS Milan (YP-6)

USS Milan (YP-6)

USS "Milan" (YP‑6) was built in 1925 at Kingston, N.Y., served in the U.S. Coast Guard as "Onandago" (WCG 209) until transferred to the Navy and placed in service 11 December 1933. She was renamed USS "Skaneateles", 1 June 1934 before being renamed again to the USS "Milan" on 20 October 1937. The "Milan" was rechristened by Mrs. Charles Edison, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and daughter‑in‑law of Thomas A. Edison. Notably, the name "Milan" is in reference to a village in Ohio, which is the birthplace of Thomas A. Edison.

After her rechristening as USS "Milan", YP‑6, a former district patrol vessel, was tied up at the Washington Navy Yard for the use of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. With the outbreak of World War II, she was returned to patrol duties. In the middle of the war she was loaned, for a brief period, to the dock department, city of New York, after which she returned to the Washington, D.C., area, stationed at Dahlgren, Va. Declared to be excess to the needs of the Navy, 5 April 1946, "Milan" was turned over to WSA for disposal 7 July 1946 and sold 27 July 1946.
