USS Surf was built in 1911 at Quincy, Massachusetts, as a 252 gross ton commercial fishing trawler. Leased by the Navy in April 1917, she was placed in commission in May of that year. Surf served during the World War I era as a minesweeper in New England waters and was returned to her owner in early April 1919.
