Born in Ware, Massachusetts to future American Civil War veteran Charles Sanford Knight and Cordelia Cutter Knight, Austin Melvin Knight was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy from Florida on June 30, 1869, graduating in 1873. After service as a passed midshipman, he was commissioned ensign on July 16, 1874.〔(US Navy Officers: 1775-1900 (K) )〕 He served in various sea and shore assignments over the next two decades, including tours at the Naval Academy, and in ''Tuscarora'', ''Constellation'', ''Chicago'', ''Monongahela'', and ''Lancaster''.〔

During the Spanish-American War Knight served as navigator aboard the new monitor ''Puritan'', participating in the blockade of Cuba and the taking of Puerto Rico in 1898. After attending the Naval War College at Newport in 1901, he commanded the armed yacht ''Yankton'' off the Cuban coast from 1901 to 1903, and the gunboat ''Castine'' in the Atlantic from 1903 to 1904. During the next three years, he presided over a naval ordnance board and a joint Army-Navy board on smokeless powder.
