Comstock sailed from Norfolk on 6 September 1945 and after calling at Pearl Harbor en route, arrived at Okinawa October 20 to join in the occupation activities of amphibious forces in China and Japan.

After calling at Yokosuka, Japan, she returned to San Francisco on 17 June and alternated local operations on the west coast with six brief tours of duty in the western Pacific until the outbreak of the Korean War.

On her next tour to the Far East, she sailed from Yokosuka 14 August 1954 as part of the task force engaged in Operation Passage to Freedom, the evacuation of Indo-Chinese civilians from Haiphong in Communist North Vietnam.

Her forward quad 40mm Bofors guns were replaced at some point by a Sea Chaparral missile launcher, which in turn gave way to a Mk15 Phalanx CIWS late in her service.

As of 2011, Chung Cheng was still active in the ROC Navy, necessitated by the fact that only one Anchorage-class LSD was acquired (which replaced her sister ship Chen Hai).

Chung Cheng (Chinese: 中正, LSD-191) was scheduled to retire from ROC Navy service in July 2012, and it was eventually sunk as an artificial reef off the southwestern Taiwan coast on 30 June 2015.
