History

She was laid down in Seattle, Washington.^[2] She was completed in 1937 and named Margaret F.^[2][1][3] On 14 April 1941, she was acquired by the U.S. Navy, designated as a Yard Patrol Craft (YP), and assigned to the 13th Naval District.^[1] She was one of the initial ships assigned to the Ralph C. Parker's Alaskan Sector^[3] of the 13th Naval District colloquially known as the "Alaskan Navy".

On 8 May 1946, she was struck from the Naval List,^[1] transferred to the United States Maritime Administration, and sold later in the year.^[2]

She is not to be confused with similarly designated USS YP-93 (ex-Zumbrota) built in 1914.^[4]
