 Volunteer
The 1918 Naval Vessel Register—which listed her as a "water boat"—indicates that she was commissioned in the Navy on 23 August 1918.
However, that information is probably erroneous for two reasons: first, the 1919 edition of the Naval Vessel Register indicates that she was "not taken over," and she is not listed in the lists of district vessels found in the 1918 and 1919 issues of the Navy Directory.
It seems likely that the compilers of the 1918 Naval Vessel Register confused the two ships and that Volunteer (SP-207) never saw service with the Navy.

Adm. Vernon Clark, the chief of naval operations says, "Marines will be supported by combat air." That's great — except when bad weather keeps the planes on deck instead of overhead.
Naval officers admit heavily armored battleships are practically impervious to such strikes, but claim the DD(X) will make up in stealth and speed what it lacks in armor.
To embattled Marines, that means the nearest naval gunfire support will be moving fast far out at sea — which doesn't contribute to accurate "steel on target" for troops fighting ashore.

Phase 1 is stripping the vessel: the vessel is drydocked; all weapons, sensors, electronics, reusable equipment and materials, all hazardous materials, radioactive materials and the nuclear fuel is removed.
Phase 2 is disposal of the reactor vessel and scrapping the submarine: the stripped hulk is drydocked, the reactor compartment is cut out, and the rest of the hull cut up; the scrap metal is then sold or, if it is excessively radioactive, buried.
Instead of placing the vessel "out of commission" when it ceases to be an active unit of the fleet, the vessel is deactivated and placed "in commission, in reserve", commonly abbreviated ICIR.
