On 18 December, about five weeks after the 11 November armistice, she stood out of Brest in company with Flusser, Stewart, and Whipple to return home. Following refueling and provisioning stops in the Azores and at Bermuda, she and her traveling companions arrived at Philadelphia on 3 January 1919. She remained in commission for a little over six months, probably at Philadelphia. In any event, Worden was placed out of commission there on 13 July, and her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 15 September. In 1920, on the first anniversary of her return home, 3 January, she was sold to Joseph G. Hitner of Philadelphia for conversion to mercantile service.
