Post-war Inactivation
Returning to the United States in the spring of 1946 via Saipan, Guam, the Marshalls, and Hawaii, Aloe commenced her pre-inactivation overhaul at Swan Island, Portland, Oregon, on 3 June 1946.
Decommissioned on 3 August 1946 and placed in reserve on 26 September 1946, the net tender remained in the Columbia River Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet, through the 1950s. Her name was stricken on 9 October 1962. Laid up in the U.S. Maritime Administration berthing area at Olympia, Washington, the ship was sold on 14 May 1971 to I. D. Logan and was scrapped.
The USS Aloe is featured in a mural depicting the history of the Houghton area of Kirkland, Washington.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
