Somerset, a 55-foot motor boat, was built in 1917 by J.S. Muir at Oriole, Maryland. The Navy leased her in April 1918 and employed her for the rest of World War I on Chesapeake Bay section patrol duties as Somerset (ID # 2162). No longer required after the Armistice, the craft was returned to her owner, The Conservation Commission of Maryland, in late November 1918.
