With Iwo Jima secured, the Navy then turned its attention to Okinawa. "Tracy" served as a buoy-laying and mine disposal vessel, arriving off the island on 1 April 1945. In support of the Okinawa invasion, she engaged in antisubmarine and anti small boat patrols off the Fleet anchorages and while conducting screening duty, she rescued survivors from , which had been hit by a "shinyo" suicide motorboat. "Tracy" herself came through this sustained and effective period of "kamikaze" assault on the US Fleet unscathed. She departed for Ulithi on 16 April and arrived on 22 April at the atoll to commence a period of upkeep and availability which lasted until 2 May. Continuing operations in the western Pacific, she took part in convoy escort duties through July, when she escorted an LST convoy from Okinawa to Leyte, anchoring in San Pedro Bay, Leyte, Philippines, on 3 July. From 5 to 17 July, she underwent tender availability before entering floating drydock for hull repairs.
