She was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard in Brooklyn, New York, as USS Hebe on 1 August 1917 with Ensign W. L. Suydam, Jr., USNRF, in command.
Assigned to the 3rd Naval District and based at Sayville, New York, Hebe patrolled the Great South Bay and Fire Island region of southern Long Island through the end of World War I.
Hebe was returned to Thome on 14 December 1918.
