End-of-War Operations
Strategy was at Leyte when hostilities with Japan ceased. The ship sailed for Japan on 28 August. At Kii Suido, Wakayama, Honshū, she swept mines for the occupation forces until 5 October. The ship then moved to Nagoya, Japan, on 7 October and remained in that area until the 19th when she went to Sasebo. She rejoined Mine Squadron 36 in sweeping known minefields from Kyūshū to Korea until early December. Strategy sailed from Japan on 12 December 1945, en route to the California coast, via Eniwetok and Pearl Harbor.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
