On 14 May 1917, the U.S. Navy ordered her owner, Franklin Farrel Jr. of New Haven, Connecticut, to deliver her to the Navy for service as a patrol boat in World War I, and she was registered accordingly with the naval section patrol designation SP-37. However, the Navy cancelled its lease for her in June 1917 and returned her to Farrel in December 1917 without commissioning her.
