Assigned to the 1st Naval District, Boston, Mist supported minesweeping training activities for the Mine Sweeping Division which operated along the Massachusetts coast out of Boston Harbor. She served as a dispatch and guard boat during the period of World War I. Following the Armistice, she was returned to her owner 3 February 1919.
