Forsythe, on 23 June 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel and commissioned her on 25 June 1917 as USS Onward II (SP-728). For the rest of World War I, Onward II performed rotuine harbor patrol duties at Newport, Rhode Island. In 1918 she was renamed USS SP-728. SP-728 was returned to her owner on 2 December 1918.
