The first USS Buck (SP-1355), later USS SP-1355, was a tender that served in the United States Navy from 1917 to 1918. Buck was built as a civilian motorboat in 1911. On 24 August 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from the Conservation Commission of Maryland for use during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Buck (SP-1355) on 13 September 1917.
