}} | The second USS Vision (SP-1114) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918. Vision was built as a private, wooden-hulled motorboat of the same name in 1910 by William Nelson at Harrisburg, Texas. On 27 August 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, Haywood Nelms, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned the same day as USS Vision (SP-1114) with Ensign Frank H. Nelms, USNRF, in command. Assigned to the 3rd Section, 8th Naval District, Vision operated in the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of World War I, patrolling off the Texas ports of Freeport, Sabine, Palacios, and Galveston. On occasion, she also conducted patrols off the entrance to the Brazos River and in Matagorda Bay. After the conclusion of World War I, the submarine chaser {{USS|SC-157}} towed Vision from Galveston to Harrisburg, Texas. Vision was decommissioned at Harrisburg on 19 December 1918 and returned to her owner the same day.
