Chicot was reacquired 14 May 1947, and after repair, recommissioned 23 June 1947. She departed Seattle 18 July for Pearl Harbor. From 19 November, when she sailed from Guam and Pearl Harbor, Chicot carried cargo between the islands of the western Pacific, calling at Saipan, Truk, Ponape, Manus, and Kusaie. After local operations at Hawaii, she made a voyage to Guam and Saipan early in 1949, and returned to San Francisco 15 March.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
