USS Genesee (AT-55) , formerly Monocacy fleet tug in the U.S. Navy in World War I and World War II built in 1905. She was scuttled on 5 May 1942 at Corregidor to avoid capture. Nevertheless, she was raised by the Japanese and designated as Patrol Boat No. 107
Operational history
[ edit ]
Monocacy was built in 1905 by the Maryland Steel Co. of Sparrow's Point, Maryland . She was acquired by the Navy on 27 July 1917 from the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Co. , in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , and placed in service at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 25 September 1917, designated SP-1116. She was commissioned 10 November 1917 as USS Genesee (Fleet Tug No. 55).
Genesee sailed from Philadelphia 20 November 1917 and, after joining a convoy at New London , reached Queenstown , Ireland, 27 January 1918. Until the end of World War I she operated in the Bremerhaven -Queenstown areas patrolling, towing, and serving as standby for deep sea rescue work. After towing USS Luella from Queenstown to Brest , Genesee arrived Ponta Delgada , Portugal, 31 December 1918 and served as a tug at that port until 1 April 1919 when she sailed for Brest. She provided tug services and aid to stricken ships and finally got underway 30 September for a 7-month tour of duty off Spalato , Dalmatia , and in Castella Bay . On 17 July 1920 Genesee was designated AT-55.
Next assigned to the Far East, Genesee arrived Cavite , Luzon , 7 September 1920 for permanent duty on the Asiatic Station. She spent the summer of 1921 with the fleet at Chefoo , China, and returned to Cavite 19 September. Subsequently she operated as a tug, a ferry, and a target tow in the Philippines until she was scuttled at Corregidor 5 May 1942 to avoid capture.
Subsequently raised by the Japanese, she was designated Patrol Boat No. 107 . On 5 November 1944, American F6F Hellcats from Task Group 38.3 sank Patrol Boat No. 107 off Lubang Island (14°23′N 120°25′E / 14.383°N 120.417°E / 14.383; 120.417 [1]
Genesee was awarded one battle star for World War II service in the U.S. Navy.
