Casper (PF-12) was launched on 27 December 1943 at the Kaiser Cargo Company shipyard in Richmond, California, under a Maritime Commission contract, sponsored by Mrs. E. J. Spaulding; and commissioned on 31 March 1944, with Lieutenant Commander F. J. Scheiber, USCG, in command. Upon commissioning, Casper reported to the Western Sea Frontier. Casper sailed from San Francisco, California, on 30 September 1944 for a weather patrol out of Seattle, returning to San Francisco 6 November. From this base, she operated as plane guard, and on weather patrol, performing these vital functions between the mainland and Pearl Harbor. During the organizing conference of the United Nations at San Francisco, which began 25 April 1945, Casper made two security patrols off the Farallon Islands.
