Caprice, a 45-foot 10-inch motor pleasure boat, was built in 1914 by the ELCO Company of Bayonne, New Jersey. The Navy leased her from her owner, William Sloan of Norfolk, Virginia, in May 1917 and placed her in commission in August as USS Caprice (SP-703). For the rest of World War I the craft was used for patrol duties by the Fifth Naval District. She was decommissioned and returned to her owner in January 1919.
