The list of ship commissionings in 1917 includes a chronological list of ships commissioned in 1917. In cases where no official commissioning ceremony was held, the date of service entry may be used instead.
Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name Abarenda.
The first USS Abarenda (AC-13/AG-14) was a collier in the service of the United States Navy during World War I.
The second USS Abarenda (IX-131) was a storage tanker, one of many miscellaneous-class Navy vessel manned by the United States Coast Guard during World War II.
USS Cyclops (AC-4) was the second of four Proteus-class colliers built for the United States Navy several years before World War I. Named after the Cyclops, a race of giants from Greek mythology, she was the second U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name. The loss of the ship and 306 crew and passengers without a trace some time after 4 March 1918 remains the single largest loss of life in the history of the United States Navy not directly involving combat. As the loss occurred during World War I, she was thought to have been captured or sunk by a German raider or submarine, because she was carrying 10,800 long tons (11,000 t) of manganese ore used to produce munitions, but German authorities at the time, and subsequently, denied any knowledge of the vessel. The Naval History & Heritage Command has stated she "probably sank in an unexpected storm", but the cause of the ship's loss is not known.
HMS Bat was a Palmer-built three funnel, 30 knot torpedo boat destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1895 – 1896 Naval Estimates. She was the third ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1815 for a revenue cutter in service until 1848. Bat was classified along with similar vessels as a C-class destroyer in 1913.
USS Katherine K. (SP-220) was a United States Navy patrol vessel and tug in commission from 1917 to 1919.
USS St. Sebastian (SP-470) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
The second USS Sylvia (SP-471), later USS SP-471, was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
USS Saxis (SP-615) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission during 1917.
USS Katie (SP-660) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918.
USS McKeever Brothers (SP-683), sometimes written as USS McKeever Bros., was a United States Navy patrol vessel and minesweeper in commission from 1917 to 1919.
After the United States entered World War I, Abarenda was placed back in commission on 27 May 1917, Lt. Cmdr. Harry M. Bostwick, USNRF, in command when her officers and crew were sworn into the Naval Auxiliary Reserve
