She was commissioned as USS "Jimetta" (SP-878) on 11 September 1917 at the New York Navy Yard at Brooklyn , New York, with Chief Boatswain's Mate H. A. Holland, USNRF, in command. Assigned to the 3rd Naval District, "Jimetta" served as a patrol and dispatch boat in Long Island Sound for the rest of World War I. "Jimetta" was decommissioned on 11 December 1918 and returned to Studebaker the same day.
