    Navajo III, a 67-foot motor pleasure boat, was built at Morris Heights, New York in 1916. She was acquired by the Navy in June 1917 and commissioned at that time as USS Navajo III (SP-298). She operated in the Long Island Sound area, based at ports in the state of Connecticut, during World War I and was renamed SP-298 in April 1918. Decommissioned in 1919, the craft was sold in November of that year.
