History
She was laid down as seiner at the San Francisco shipyard of Anderson & Cristofani. In 1936, she was completed and named Waldero. On 18 December 1941, she was acquired by the U.S. Navy, designated as a Yard Patrol Craft (YP), and assigned to the 13th Naval District. She was one of the initial ships assigned to Ralph C. Parker's Alaskan Sector of the 13th Naval District colloquially known as the "Alaskan Navy".

On 8 May 1946, she was struck from the Naval List and sold later in the year.
