She was laid down in Seattle, Washington.^[1] She was completed in 1937 and named Margaret F.^{[1] [2] [3]} On 14 April 1941, she was acquired by the U.S. Navy, designated as a Yard Patrol Craft (YP), and assigned to the 13th Naval District.^[2] She was one of the initial ships assigned to the Ralph C. Parker's Alaskan Sector^[3] of the 13th Naval District colloquially known as the "Alaskan Navy".
