Sinking Another Submarine Off The Chesapeake Bay
Bronstein returned to patrol duty on 14 April when all ships of her division received orders to search for a submarine off the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. With Baker and Breeman, Bronstein searched the southern channels. The group searching the northern channel attacked and sank a submarine on the night of 29 and 30 April. The warships sailed to New York and were there on 7 May to celebrate Germany's surrender.
On 9 May, Bronstein returned to screening carriers during pilot qualification flights, working with Card, Mission Bay (CVE-59), and Croatan (CVE-25). She interrupted this duty once, in July, to embark civilians for an "industrial incentive cruise" followed by a technical availability in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Bronstein entered the Boston Navy Yard later in the year for repairs to one of her main engines and then sailed to New York on 23 October to participate in the Navy Day Review.
