USS Zircon ( PY - 16 ) USS " Zircon " ( PY - 16 ) was an armed yacht that served in the United States Navy from 1941 to 1946 . " Zircon " was built by the Pusey and Jones Corporation at Wilmington , Delaware , in 1929 as the private yacht " Nakhoda " . The U . S . Navy acquired " Nakhodka " from automobile body manufacturer Mr . Fred J . Fisher of Detroit , Michigan , on 9 December 1940 , renamed her USS " Zircon " , and designated her as a patrol yacht ( PY - 16 ) . She was outfitted for naval service at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in Brooklyn , New York and commissioned on 25 March 1941 with Lieutenant Commander Cornelius M . Sullivan in command . Though assigned to New London , Connecticut , as an antiaircraft gun nery school ship specializing in machine - gun training for officer trainees , " Zircon " also conducted inshore patrols and visited ports from New York City to Casco Bay , Maine .

She steamed back and forth between Cuba and New York City — occasionally calling at some of the islands of the West Indies , notably Trinidad and San Salvador Island — until 1 March 1944 . At that juncture , she received a temporary assignment to the United States Coast Guard ' s weather patrol . Between March and November 1944 , " Zircon " operated out of Boston , Massachusetts , and plied the waters of the North Atlantic with the weather patrol . However , she continued to participate to some extent in the protection of New York City - Guantanamo Bay convoys and of other mercantile traffic along the North American coast . On 16 November 1944 , " Zircon " reported for duty with the Commander , DD - DE ( i . e . , destroyer - destroyer escort ) Shakedown Task Group .

Order of battle at the Battle of Tory Island The Battle of Tory Island , ( also known as the Battle of Donegal , Battle of Lough Swilly and Warren ' s Action ) was a naval action fought on 12 October 1798 off the north coast of Ireland . The battle contested an attempted French invasion of Donegal in support of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 , with a French squadron under Jean - Baptiste - François Bompart facing a hastily assembled Royal Navy blockade squadron under Sir John Borlase Warren . Bompart ' s force had been dispatched from Brest the month before with orders to reinforce a French army under Jean Humbert which had landed two months earlier . Unbeknown to Bompart ' s force , Humbert ' s army and the rebellion as a whole had been defeated by the British Army a week before Bompart departed France . Bompart ' s squadron too was woefully understrength consisting of only a single ship of the line and eight frigates carrying 3 , 000 men . This small force faced a large proportion of the British Channel Fleet , which was prepared for a second invasion attempt after Humbert ' s army had landed unopposed in August . As a result , Bompart ' s force was spotted just a few hours after he left Brest and he was then chased into the Atlantic Ocean by several British frigates which followed him for a week until he was able to lose them in heavy weather . This weather persisted throughout the campaign , causing significant damage to both sides in a series of storms . The delay caused by the pursuit of Bompart by the frigates under George Countess allowed the British to dispatch a more substantial squadron under Warren to the Donegal coast . Thus when Bompart arrived in the lee of Tory Island , he soon found himself threatened on all sides by a superior British force . Despite the damage his ships had suffered in the heavy weather conditions , Bompart attempted to escape but was swiftly run down and defeated in battle , his flagship and four frigates being captured and towed into Lough Swilly . Among the prisoners seized on board the flagship was Theobald Wolfe Tone , leader of the United Irishmen , whose capture and subsequent death signified the end of the rebellion . Over the next week , the scattered French survivors desperately attempted to reach the safety of French harbours in the face of a dozens of British warships cruising along their homeward route . Only three made it , three others being hunted down and captured , one just a few miles from the entrance to Brest . The French never again attempted an invasion of Ireland .
