She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore. She was laid down on 18 August 1924, launched on 25 November 1924, and delivered 26 December 1924. She was commissioned in 1924/1925 as CG-255. By 1943, during World War II, she was designated CG-74339 (the "74" referring to her length of 74 feet 11 inches). She was decommissioned for disposal in 1947.
