In port, possibly when she was inspected by the Fifth Naval District
on 20 September 1917, by which time she was already in Navy service.
This motor boat was taken over by the Navy under charter and
placed in commission as USS Isle of Surry (ID # 1860)
on 18 September 1917. She was decommissioned and returned to
her owners, W.P. Warren and W.T. Forrest of Rushmere, Virginia,
on 31 January 1919.
