Sialia (SP-543), a steam yacht built in 1914 by Pusey and Jones, Wilmington, Del., Ex USS SP-543 was acquired by the Navy in June 1917.
The SIALIA saw a little patrol duty but spent most of the war tied up at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and then, from 15 April 1918 to 5 May 1919, she served as flagship in Hampton Roads for Commander Division Four, Cruiser Force, and Newport News Division, Transport Force.
Possibly named for the genus Sialia, the bluebirds, or as a geophysical reference to the sima (dense mantle material) and sial, the sial (continental material) being less dense floats on top of the sima.

 Arctic Blue-Bird
About fifty or sixty miles north-west of the usual crossing place of that branch of the Platte called Larimie's Fork, in the early part of June, this species of Sialia is not uncommon.
The female utters a low plaint when her nest is approached, the place for which is indifferently chosen in a hole in a clay cliff, or in that of the trunk of a decayed cedar.
Its note, although like that of our common Sialia, is still so different as to be easily recognised.
