USS Venture (PC-826/PYc-51) was a patrol boat acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of patrolling the coastal waters of the New York coast during World War I. Her primary task was to guard the coastal area against German submarines. For this reason, she carried depth charges. The second ship to be named Venture by the Navy, Vixen—a wooden-hulled yacht built in 1931 by the Consolidated Shipbuilding Corp. at New York City—was acquired on 27 December 1941; designated PC-826; and commissioned on 10 March 1942.
