}} | USS SC-2, until July 1920 known as USS Submarine Chaser No. 2 or USS S.C. 2, was an SC-1-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War I. SC-2 was a wooden-hulled 110-foot (34 m) submarine chaser built at Naval Station New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was commissioned on 8 January 1918 as USS Submarine Chaser No. 2, abbreviated at the time as USS S.C. 2. During World War I, S.C. 2 served under the command of Ensign B.D. Wood on antisubmarine patrol duty in the Special Hunting Squadron, {{USS|Salem|CL-3|6}} Group, against German submarines in the Gulf of Mexico, and was based at Key West, Florida. {{expand section|SC-2{{'}}s operational history from November 1918 to October 1930|date=February 2011}}When the U.S. Navy adopted its modern hull number system on 17 July 1920, Submarine Chaser No. 2 was classified as SC-2 and her name was shortened to USS SC-2.
