I am not sure if this is what RIP is talking about, but I did find a website about seven temporary Navy Lightships during WW I from 1918 to 1919. Even gives their names. Two of them were Navy Tugs. Seven Navy lightships during 1918 to 1919 Navy Temporary Lightships

Thanks, Daniel! My grandfather returned from France via New York; he might have seen the USS Finch or USS Cardinal. Like me, he grew up just a few miles from the light at Point Isabel.
