USS YP-152 was a converted fishing vessel which served as an auxiliary patrol boat in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

History

[edit]

She was laid down as seiner[2] at the Tacoma shipyard of Western Boat Building Company,[1] completed in 1936,[3] and named Western Traveler.[2] On 18 December 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[2] of the 13th Naval District colloquially known as the "Alaskan Navy".

In 1946, she was returned to her former owners.[1] In 1961, she was involved in a collision and sunk in the Grenville Channel off the coast of British Columbia.[1]
