For the next 12 months, "Silverstein" operated out of Pearl Harbor, was overhauled twice and visited San Francisco, California. On 9 May 1953, she headed back to the Far East for another tour of duty along the Korean coast. She sailed into Sasebo on 21 May and stood out again the next day. After screening a replenishment group and escorting to Sasebo, she reported for patrol duty at Pusan, Korea. Relieved from patrol duty in the Southern Defense Zone, she put into Sasebo on 26 June and, by 8 July, was back off Korea at Cheju Do. After this and another routine patrol off Korea, "Silverstein" headed east for Pearl Harbor on 1 December.
