USS Bali was a Dutch cargo steamship that was built for Stoomvaart Mattschappij Nederland ("Netherland Line") in 1917.

In 1916 and 1917 Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij in Rotterdam built a pair of sister ships for Netherland Line.

[5] She was one of 89 Dutch ships seized in US ports under Proclamation 1436, which President Woodrow Wilson had issued the previous day.

The next day she reached Saint-Nazaire, but the port was crowded, so she had to wait for a berth, and was abler to discharge only part of her cargo.

On 6 June she went up the Loire estuary to Nantes, where German prisoners of war were being used to unload ships.

The next day she reached Hampton Roads, Virginia and moored alongside USS Mississippi at Norfolk Navy Yard.

[5] At sea in the North Atlantic on 8 August, Bali observed a steamship to starboard sounding a submarine warning and opening fire on a "suspicious object" in the water.

[5] Bali was sent to Hoboken on 6 September, where she loaded 6,887 tons of general cargo and her engine was repaired.

[5] Word of the impending armistice with the Central Powers delayed the installation of stalls for her to transport horses.

[5] Bali anchored in Hampton Roads late on 11 January 1919, and moored at Newport News, Virginia, the next day.

On the afternoon of 15 January she entered the shipyard Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock, where her guns were removed.

[5] On 23 January she moved to the Engineer Depot dock at Lambert's Point, where she unloaded her steel rail ballast.

The next day, a flood tide and strong breeze caused her to drag her anchors and drift down on the cargo ship Bonafan.

There she loaded 7,458 tons of US Food Administration flour, peas, and beans for European relief, and had "otter gear" installed for minesweeping.

[5] On 22 April Bali moved to the West Shore Railroad Dock, where she loaded a cargo of lard and flour.

On 22 March 1932 Georges Potolo acquired her, renamed her Max Wolf, and registered her in Ithaca, in the Ionian Islands of Greece.

[7][8] In the Second World War a German air raid on 9 June 1940 sank Bali in the Seine, killing two of her crew.
