Natoya as a private motorboat sometime between 1909 and 1917.

Natoya was built as a private motorboat in 1909. On 11 June 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, R. M. Haddock of Ossining, New York, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned at New York City as USS Natoya (SP-391) on either 11 June 1917[5] or 19 June 1917.[6]

Natoya served on patrol duties in New York Harbor. She was decommissioned on 11 January 1918 to undergo repairs. After their completion, she was recommissioned on 18 May 1918 and resumed her patrol duties for the remainder of World War I.

Natoya was decommissioned for the second and last time on 18 December 1918. On either 3 April 1919[7] or 12 April 1919,[8] she was transferred to the United States Department of the Treasury for use by the United States Customs Service.
