USS Caliph (SP-272) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission in 1917 and again in 1918. Caliph was built as a civilian motorboat of the same name in 1910 by the Matthews Yacht Building Company. The U.S. Navy leased her from her owner in May 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel. She was commissioned as USS Caliph (SP-272). Placed in service in the 4th Naval District -- which was responsible for the Pennsylvania, Delaware, and southern New Jersey area -- Caliph performed section patrol duty until December 1917, when she was laid up for the winter at Washington, D.C.. Caliph was recommissioned on 1 April 1918 and assigned to duty with the District Communication Superintendent at Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. She resumed her patrol duties.
