USS Ella (SP-1676)
The second USS "Ella" (SP-1676) was a patrol vessel briefly under United States Navy control during 1917. "Ella" was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1902. On 8 October 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was given the section patrol number SP-1676. Apparently very quickly deemed unsuitable for naval service, "Ella" was returned to her owner on 29 October 1917.
