USS War Bug, a 62' 4" long motor patrol boat, was built at Bristol, Rhode Island, in 1917 for a private owner. She was one of several craft constructed to the same design and was probably conceived with possible Naval service in mind. Purchased by the Navy in November 1917, she served in the area of Boston, Massachusetts, for the next year and a half. War Bug was sold in June 1919.
