Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transport Service (NOTS), Plymouth loaded military supplies at Baltimore, Maryland; sailed for Hampton Roads on 21 August 1918 to join a convoy bound for France; and arrived Brest on 11 September. Upon returning to New York City from La Pallice on 17 October, the ship again sailed for France with a United States Army cargo, arriving at St. Nazaire on 9 December 1918.

Plymouth returned to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 10 January 1919 and steamed on to New York City. She decommissioned there on 25 February and transferred to USSB for disposal. She was sold to the Green Star Steamship Company in 1920. She was scrapped in Wilmington, Delaware in 1948.^[1]
