Eight days later, the ship passed between Cape Charles and Cape Henry out into the Atlantic on her way to the Pacific. She transited the Panama Canal and continued on to Pearl Harbor. From there, she resumed her voyage west and on 5 May entered the lagoon at Ulithi. Following a 12-day layover, during which she unloaded her cargo, "Yukon" departed Ulithi on the 17th and set a course for the southwestern Pacific. She made an overnight stop at Manus on the 21st and 22d and arrived in Auckland, New Zealand on 4 June. On the 12th, "Yukon" stood out of Auckland and laid a course for Hawaii, arriving in Pearl Harbor on the 28th.
