Service History
After shakedown, Pasco reported to San Francisco, California, on 25 May, and continued patrol operations in the San Francisco-San Diego area until reporting to Kodiak to join the Alaskan Sea Frontier on 15 October. In January 1945, she returned to Seattle and guarded the northern Pacific coast.
After war-time service, the ship was leased to the Soviet Union in August 1945 and continued operations with that country until 1950, when she returned to the United States and went into reserve.
Loaned to Japan in 1953, the frigate was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 December 1961. In 1964, the ship was given to Japan and continued to operate with the Japanese as Kashi until 1968.
Returned to United States custody on 18 March 1968, the ship was transferred to South Korea in 1969 and used for parts. Eventually the ship was converted to a floating pier.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or history:
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
