}} | USS Cobra (SP-626) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. Cobra was built as a private motorboat of the same name at Lynn, Massachusetts. On 19 September 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned[2] as USS Cobra (SP-626) on 19 September 1917. Assigned to the 1st Naval District in northern New England, Cobra performed patrol duty for the rest of World War I. Decommissioned sometime after the end of the war, Cobra was transferred to the Bureau of Fisheries on 9 September 1919. Renamed: Petrel.
