Nelansu, a 51?-foot motor boat built at Monument Beach, Massachusetts, had been employed as a pleasure craft prior to World War I. She may previously have been named U.S. Kent. The Navy acquired her under lease in 1917. Commissioned in May of that year as USS Nelansu (SP-610), for the remainder of the "Great War" she served as a patrol vessel in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts. Nelansu was decommissioned and returned to her owner at the end of November 1918, about three weeks after the Armistice.
