Calypso, a 54-foot motor boat, was built at Morris Heights, New York, in 1909 as a civilian pleasure craft. She was purchased by the Navy in June 1917 and placed in commission a month later as USS Calypso (SP-632). After spending the rest of the World War I era performing section patrol duties in northeastern U.S. waters, the boat was transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in September 1919.
