}} | The second USS Ella (SP-1676) was a patrol vessel briefly under United States Navy control during 1917. Ella was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1902. On 8 October 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was given the section patrol number SP-1676. Apparently very quickly deemed unsuitable for naval service, Ella was returned to her owner on 29 October 1917. References- {{DANFS|http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/e3/ella-iii.htm}}
