Davison's group came under heavy air attack from German planes based in southern France on 6 November, while off Algiers.

Her crew shot down at least one enemy plane, and aided survivors of the torpedoed destroyer Beatty, and two merchantmen.

She swept mines in the Yellow Sea, remaining in the Far East on occupation duty until 11 March 1946 when she left Yokosuka for San Francisco, arriving the last day of the month.

Davison served in the western Pacific again from 12 September 1946 to 29 March 1947, calling at Pearl Harbor, Eniwetok, Guam, various Chinese and Korean ports, and Kwajalein.

On 10 March 1948, she sailed west again, with a team from the Naval Research Laboratory for balloon tests in the Marshall Islands, returning to San Diego on 4 June.
