The first '''USS ''Jouett'' (DD-41)''' was a modified {{sclass|Paulding|destroyer}} in the [[United States Navy]] during [[World War I]] and later in the [[United States Coast Guard]], designated as '''CG-13'''. She was named for [[Rear Admiral (United States)|Rear admiral]] [[James Edward Jouett]].

''Jouett'' was laid down on 7 March 1911 by [[Bath Iron Works]], Ltd., [[Bath, Maine]]; launched on 15 April 1912; sponsored by Miss Marylee Nally; and commissioned at [[Boston, Massachusetts]] on 24 May 1912, [[Lieutenant Commander#United States|Lieutenant Commander]] [[W. P. Cronan]] in command.

==Pre-World War I==
''Jouett'' joined the [[United States Fleet Forces Command|Atlantic Fleet]] [[Torpedo Flotilla]] and operated off the East Coast until early 1914, when events in [[Mexico]] threatened American interests and officials at [[Tampico]] arrested American sailors without cause. ''Jouett'' supported the [[United States occupation of Veracruz|landing of Marines at Veracruz]] on 21 April 1914. Returning to the East Coast after this operation, the destroyer continued to carry out training maneuvers until the United States entered World War I in April 1917.

==World War I==
The ship was assigned patrol in [[Delaware Bay]] in April 1917 and remained on that duty until sailing from New York on 8 August as an escort for five troopships bound for [[France]]. After returning from [[Europe]], ''Jouett'' resumed patrolling until she arrived at [[New London, Connecticut]], on 15 January 1918 for experimentation with antisubmarine detection devices. Completing this duty on 4 June, the ship operated until the [[Armistice with Germany (Compiègne)|armistice]] with a special [[Anti-submarine warfare|anti-submarine]] group along the East Coast of the United States.

==Inter-war period==
Following the war, ''Jouett'' conducted training exercises and fleet maneuvers until entering [[Philadelphia Navy Yard]] on 20 July 1919. She decommissioned on 24 November and remained inactive until being loaned to the Coast Guard on 23 April 1924 for use as a [[United States Coast Guard Cutter|cutter]]. Returned to the Navy on 22 May 1931, she was sold for scrap to Michael Flynn Inc, [[Brooklyn, New York]].
