The ship was constructed as the wooden-hulled purse seiner New Example at Tacoma, Washington in 1937. Acquired by the U.S. Navy on 28 October 1940 and converted into a coastal minesweeper, she was commissioned as Condor on 18 April 1941. Condor was in Pearl Harbor when the attack occurred. In the early hours of 7 December 1941, sailors and officers aboard Condor spotted what looked like a periscope out of the water in the entrance to the harbor. They later found out that they spotted the periscope of a Japanese midget submarine attempting to get into the harbor. Condor's report was sent to the destroyer Ward (DD-139) which fired the first shots of the Pacific War. Condor spent the war in or near Hawaii with the U.S. Navy.
