She was commissioned later that day as USS Betty Jane I. Assigned to the 6th Naval District, Betty Jane I patrolled the southeastern coast of the United States for the rest of World War I. In September 1918, she received a registration number, although sources disagree on whether this was the section patrol number SP-3458 or the naval registry identification number ID-3458. Betty Jane I was stricken from the Navy List on 17 January 1919 and the Navy returned her to Ballentyne the same day.
