Assigned to the 5th Naval District, Security, a wooden-hulled coastal minesweeper, trained at Yorktown, Va., from 27 March to 11 April, then began operations out of Morehead City, N.C. On 20 May 1944, she was detached from the 5th Naval District and re-assigned to the 1st Naval District where she operated into May of 1945. With the end of the war in Europe however, she was designated for inactivation; and, on 25 July, she was ordered south to the 6th Naval District to await disposal. She arrived at Charleston S.C., on 8 August and was placed out of service on 16 November. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 28 November, and she was sold, via the Maritime Commission's War Shipping Administration, on 13 August 1946 to Mr. Philip Filetto, Gloucester, Mass.
