Under his dates on the NavSource list she sailed from San Pedro on 24 January 1946 for the occupation force, reached Pearl Harbor on 30 January, had her orders changed, and on 7 February went to the Atlantic Fleet by way of the Panama Canal and Guantanamo Bay, with Norfolk as the home port. Captain James Merrill Fernald relieved him on 18 January 1947.
