In June 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, J. R. Jewett of Cambridge, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I.

She was commissioned as USS Doris B. III (SP-733) on 25 June 1917.

Assigned to the 2nd Naval District in southern New England, Doris B. III performed patrol duty for the rest of World War I. Doris B. III was decommissioned after the end of the war and returned to Jewett on 3 December 1918.
