USS Eten (ID-4041) was a troop transport commissioned in 1919 to assist in the post-World War I repatriation of U.S. troops from France. Eten was originally SS Rhakotis, a German passenger-cargo steamer built in 1907 for trade between Germany and South America. After the outbreak of World War I, Rhakotis operated briefly as a clandestine supply ship for German naval forces, before being interned in Peru. In 1918, Rhakotis was seized by the Peruvian government and chartered to the United States Shipping Board, who had her converted into a troop transport. Renamed USS Eten, the ship made two trips to France to repatriate U.S. troops between May and July 1919.
