Recommissioning For East Coast Operations
In June 1950, war broke out in Korea and created a need for minecraft and trained men to man them. In August, Sage, with others of her type, was ordered activated. Recommissioned on 16 March 1951, she was homeported at Charleston; and, for the next three years, conducted training exercises off the southeastern seaboard, in the Caribbean, and in the Gulf of Mexico. In March 1954, she deployed to the Mediterranean where she operated with the U.S. 6th Fleet through the summer. In October, she resumed operations out of Charleston; and, in December, she was ordered inactivated for a second time.
