Stateside Inactivity
The minesweeper lay in the San Francisco Naval Shipyard until November 1946. Subsequently proceeding to San Diego in company with USS Vigilance (AM-324), Ardent then operated in the vicinity of San Clemente Island, Newport Beach, and Oceanside, California, and on air-sea rescue stations off the coast of southern California. Returning to pier 17, Treasure Island (California), on 15 December 1946, to commence preparations for inactivation, Ardent shifted to the San Diego Naval Station on 22 January 1947.
