USS Get There (SP-579) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
Get There was built as a private motor yacht of the same name in 1916 by Wood & McClure at City Island, the Bronx, New York. On 28 June 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owners, J. S. Bache and F. L. Richards of New York City, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. The Navy took delivery of her on 14 July 1917 and she was commissioned as USS Get There (SP-579) on 10 August 1917 with Boatswain F. L. Richards, USNRF, in command.
Assigned to the 3rd Naval District, Get There served on section patrol and general transportation duties in New York Harbor for the remainder of World War I except for winter periods, when she was laid up in the marine basin at the New York Navy Yard.
Get There was decommissioned at New York City on 6 March 1919. The Navy returned her to her owners on 13 March 1919.
