Advantage served until the end of the war with the Royal Navy and was returned to the United States postwar.

Sold to a Chinese merchant shipping company, she served successively as 109, Ming 309, and Kaoshiung until her 1965 scrapping.

Advantage was powered by a one-shaft Fulton Iron Works vertical triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine rated at 1,600 shaft horsepower (1,200 kW), two Babcock and Wilcox "D" type boilers, generating a top speed of 12.2 kn (22.6 km/h; 14.0 mph), and two Turbo drive Ship's Service Generators.

[7][8] Advantage and Cheerly towed two floating docks from Glasgow to Darwin, a distance of 14,000 miles, arriving at their destination on 1 August.

Admiral Bruce Fraser, the British Pacific Fleet commander, personally thanked both crews in Darwin.
