Overhaul in California
At Ulithi Atoll late in November, Parks received orders to proceed to Pearl Harbor. Upon arrival in Pearl Harbor, via Manus Island, Parks was ordered on to the West Coast and arrived at Newport Beach, California, on 1 March 1945 for overhaul.
On 16 April 1945 Parks departed San Diego, California, and proceeded to Eniwetok, taking up duties which consisted of ocean escort between Eniwetok and Ulithi, air-sea rescue, and hunter-killer operations in the surrounding area.
