This is one of my favored cancellations, the USS Zircon.
In 1929, F.j. Fisher of Detroit (Fisher auto body) built a private yacht called the Nakhoda. In
Dec 1940, Fisher donated his yacht to the US Navy where it was renamed the Zircon. It
was refitted with two three inch cannons and six thirty cal Browning m/g's. plus two depth charge throwers.
The USS Zircon patrolled the east coast during WW2 and sold in 1947, it was bought and restored![]()
