Jaydee III, a 45-foot motor boat, was built by the Matthews Boat Company in 1916 for use as a pleasure craft. Acquired in May 1917, she was placed in commission in June as USS Jaydee III (SP-692). During World War I, the craft served in the Detroit River, Michigan, on patrol and traffic control duties. Jaydee III was returned to her owners in March 1919.
