USS Yacal (YFB-688)

USS Yacal (YFB-688) was a small ferry that served in the United States Navy from 1932 to 1942.

Yacal was constructed in the Philippine Islands by the Cavite Navy Yard. She was launched on 15 September 1932, and completed on 11 November 1932. She was constructed principally of yacal wood and burned coal for fuel.

Yacal performed yard duties at Cavite Navy Yard for almost a decade. Japanese forces invaded the Philippines in December 1941 and Yacal met her end on 2 January 1942. Records do not indicate whether she was destroyed by her own forces to prevent capture or by the Japanese. In any event, she was struck from the Navy List on 24 July 1942.
