USS Truant (PYc-14) was a coastal patrol yacht in the service of the United States Navy. In the years following the outbreak of World War II in Europe, during which international tension also worsened in the Far East, the United States Navy augmented the Fleet to meet the growing threat. It also sought yachts, trawlers, and other suitable ships in which to train the officers and men needed by newly constructed warships.

  • USS Truant (PYc-14) was a coastal patrol yacht in the service of the United States Navy. In the years following the outbreak of World War II in Europe, during which international tension also worsened in the Far East, the United States Navy augmented the Fleet to meet the growing threat. It also sought yachts, trawlers, and other suitable ships in which to train the officers and men needed by newly constructed warships. On 3 July 1941, as a part of the latter program, the Navy chartered, on a bare-boat basis, Truant, a steel-hulled steam yacht built in 1892, at Bristol, Rhode Island, by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. Henry Ford had purchased the ship in 1938, and had her extensively refitted. When he offered the yacht for the duration of the emergency, the Navy agreed to his request that she be allowed to retain her name during her Navy service. The ship was classified a coastal yacht and designated PYc-14, assigned to the 9th Naval District on 11 July, and commissioned on 16 July 1941, at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, North Chicago, Illinois.
