USS Pawnee (SP-699), later USS SP-699, formerly named Monoloa II, a wooden-hulled yacht, was built in 1904 by George Lawley & Son, Neponset, Massachusetts; purchased by the Navy on 26 June 1917 from Gordon Dexter of Beverly, Massachusetts; and commissioned on 1 July 1917.

Pawnee subsequently had her name dropped in 1918 and was listed as SP–699. She was outfitted with sweep gear and served as a section minesweeper until she decommissioned and was sold on 12 July 1921 to George E. Johnson and O. T. Ledberg of Edgewood, Rhode Island.
