USS PC-1168

USS PC-1168 was a PC-461-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War II. PC-1168 is notable for being the ship on which the film You're in the Navy Now, which starred Gary Cooper, was filmed in 1950. The ship was later transferred to the Republic of China Navy, serving from 1954 to 1970 as ROCS Ching Kiang (PC-116).

Career
PC-1168 was laid down on 3 April 1943 at the Sullivan Dry Dock and Repair Company in Brooklyn, New York. She was launched on 3 July and commissioned 3 December 1943, one of 403 members of her class of 173-foot steel-hulled submarine chasers. These ships were of a flush-deck design similar to that of World War I "four-piper" destroyers, but were half the size and complement of their big sisters.

On 19 May 1954 she was decommissioned and transferred to the Republic of China as PC-116.
