United States Navy Service 1917-1919
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Mackinac's Great Lakes routine ended when she was taken over by the United States Navy for use as a patrol boat. As USS Mackinac, she served in the Atlantic in the 3rd Naval District during the war, patrolling the United States East Coast. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register and returned to the Coast Guard on 28 August 1919, once again becoming USCGC Mackinac.
