Prepared for service with the New Jersey Naval Militia, she served as a training ship in the Jersey City area into World War II.

Carried on the Navy List as an unclassified ship for most of that period, she was designated IX–33 on 17 February 1941. On 13 May 1943 she was transferred to the Armed Guard Center, Brooklyn, New York. Placed in service on 22 November 1944, she was assigned to the New York Navy Yard until placed out of service on 14 November 1945.

Struck from the Navy List on 8 January 1946, she sank in the Hudson River the same month and her hulk was sold on 12 September 1946.
