Mohawk was temporarily transferred to the United States Navy on 6 April 1917 for service in World War I. She was the fourth ship known by that name commissioned into the Navy. While serving on coastal duty in connection with convoy operations, she was struck by the British tanker SS Vennacher and sank on 1 October 1917 off Sandy Hook, New Jersey. All hands were saved but the water was deemed too deep to warrant salvage operations.
