USS Vincent (SP-3246) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 or 1918 to 1919. Vincent was built as a civilian wooden single-screw cabin motorboat of the same name in 1909 by Britt Brothers at Lynn, Massachusetts. The U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, the Transfer Company of Norwich, Connecticut, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I; sources differ on the date of the acquisition, suggesting that it could have happened in both June 1917 and June 1918. She was commissioned as USS Vincent (SP-3246); sources disagree on her commissioning date, stating that it was 28 June 1917, 20 June 1918, and 28 June 1918
