#2 ...The Eagle 56 was one of 60 Eagle boats built by Henry Ford as his contribution to the US effort in WW I - a production line for anti-sub ships that was a great idea in theory, didn't work out quite so well in practice. The boats had problems, and apparently seakeeping was not good. Eight of them held on into WW II, and the 56 boat was the only one ever lost to enemy action.
