She was commissioned as USS Dawn (SP-26) on 19 June 1917, the day of her acquisition from Donnelley. Dawn was assigned to the 2nd Naval District. Apparently she did not prove satisfactory in service, for a January 1918 U.S. Navy note commented that the Navy had decided to return her to her owner. The Navy returned Dawn to Donnelley on 4 April 1918.
