The second USS Apache was a United States Coast Guard cutter that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917-1919.
Apache was built in 1891 as the United States Revenue Cutter Service cutter USRC Galveston by Reeder and Sons at Baltimore, Maryland. In 1900, her name was changed to USRC Apache and, upon the creation of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915, she became USCGC Apache.
