Departing Naples on 5 August, "Weight" reached the Bay of Ajaccio, Corsica, late on the 6th. During the ensuing weeks, the salvage vessel supported the invasion of southern France, earning her second battle star performing her vital but unsung salvage and repair deeds on ships ranging from landing craft to patrol vessels. She remained at Corsica for much of August, before she towed "LST-690" to Palermo, en route to Naples. Reaching that port on 1 September, in company with "PC-1594" and "PC-1596", "Weight" departed Naples on 6 September.
