Description The U.S. Navy radar picket ship USS Picket (YAGR-7) in 1956. Picket was laid down on 28 March 1945 as a Z-EC2-S-C5 type Liberty ship, SS James F. Harrell (MCE hull 3138) by J. A. Jones Construction Co., Panama City, Florida (USA); launched on 17 May 1945, she was delivered for merchant marine service on 11 June 1945.

She was commissioned on 8 February 1956, and was reclassified AGR-7 on 28 September 1958. From 1956 to 1965, Picket used her long range radar and communications equipment to serve the North American Air Defense Command. She was decommissioned on 1 September 1965.
