Construction

Service

Template:DANFS Morris was commissioned on 11 May, 1898 with Lt. Charles E. Fox in command.

After east coast shakedown, Morris arrived Newport Rhode Island, for range tender and training services until World War I, when she was assigned patrol duties. From 19 April, 1918 through early March 1919 she patrolled the West Indies, investigating suspected enemy sabotage. Now known as Coast Torpedo Boat No. 6, she returned to Newport and decommissioned 24 March 1919, but served as torpedo range tender there for five years. Last of the old torpedo boats, she was struck from the Naval Register on 24 January, 1924 and sold at public auction 10 October, 1924 to Frank B. Jones of Wilmington, Delaware.
