Built in Stamford, CT in 1943 as a PC-461 Class Submarine Chaser, the PC-1217 served with the Atlantic Fleet during WWII patrolling the East Coast for German U-Boats. She decomissioned shortly after the war ended and was sold for scrap in 1948.
She was towed to Whitte Brothers Marine Scrapyard at Rossville in late 1948 where she has been left to rot.
