USS E. Benson Dennis, a 100 gross ton patrol vessel, was built in 1901 by C.W. Crockett of Pocomoke City, Maryland, for commercial use in the East Coast fishing trade. She was acquired by the Navy in mid-May 1917 and spent nearly two years assigned to the Fifth Naval District, performing net patrol and guard duty. USS E. Benson Dennis was decommissioned in March 1919 and returned to her owner, E. Benson Dennis of Cape Charles, Virginia.
