There is not a lot of information on this ship that was at Pearl Harbor. Its classification, YP, stood for yard patrol and that was its job.
I did find out that the 107-foot former yacht was acquired by the Navy October 3rd (I imagine 1941) and placed on harbor patrol at Naval Station Pearl Harbor in 1941. It was struck from the Naval Register 3 January 1946, so must have continued to serve throughout the war.
It was one of two YPs at Pearl Harbor, the other being YP-109.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
