After refueling east of the Bonin Islands, "Wallace L. Lind" returned to the operating area of the east coast of Kyūshū on 24 July. She was then in position to act as a picket in the "Able Day" strikes against the Kure area. On 30 July, the task group launched strikes at air installations in the Tokyo-Nagoya area. The next day, the ships retired on a southerly course for replenishment. On 8 August, planes hit northern Honshū and Hokkaido as well as the Tokyo plains area. "Wallace L. Lind" received official word that the war with Japan had ceased on 15 August 1945. The task group moved to the southeast of Tokyo with all ships taking precautions against attacking enemy aircraft which persisted, in some cases, despite the war's end.
