Nedeva II was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1917 by Essington Shipbuilding Company at Essington, Pennsylvania. The U.S. Navy acquired her for World War I service as a patrol vessel from her owner, J. H. H. Cromwell of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 10 April 1917 and commissioned her the same day as USS Nedeva II (SP-64) with Cromwell in command.
Operating in the 4th Naval District headquartered at Philadelphia, Nedeva II patrolled in the Philadelphia area, protecting shipping in the Delaware River. After wartime service, she was decommissioned and returned to her owner.
