Following a shakedown in the Chesapeake Bay area, "LST-1064" loaded a cargo of ammunition at Naval Weapons Station Earle, New Jersey, and sailed for the Pacific war front, reaching Ulithi, on 23 June 1945. As the end of the war approached, LST Group 99 advanced its operations to the Philippines, and at Leyte, "LST-1064" transferred her cargo to fleet ships while loading new supplies and embarking units of an air service group destined to strengthen the occupation forces in Japan. Two voyages to Yokohama, took place between 4 October and 19 November, before arrival of orders to return home.
