Post-World War II U.S. Navy Service
Unimak operated in the Hawaiian Islands until 7 September 1945, when she headed for the Aleutian Islands.
She operated in the Northern Pacific — calling at Adak, Kodiak, and Attu, Alaska, and once at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in the Soviet Union — into November 1945 before heading southward to prepare for inactivation. Reporting for inactivation in December 1945, Unimak was decommissioned on 26 July 1946 and placed in reserve. She remained in reserve until transferred to the Coast Guard on 14 September 1948.
