USS Sandoval (1898-1919)

USS Sandoval, a 106-ton gunboat, was built for the Spanish Navy at Clydebank, Scotland, in 1895. Captured at Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War, the little gunboat was refurbished for U.S. Navy service. She was employed as a Naval Academy practice ship in 1900-06. The following year, she was sent to the Great Lakes as a Naval Militia training ship and remained in that occupation through the First World War. Sandoval was stricken from the Navy List in June 1919 and sold the following September.
