Hull recommissioned on 14 November 1906 at Philadelphia, and took part in winter exercises with fleet units in Cuban waters.

After operations off Newport, the ship returned to Norfolk in October 1907 to prepare for the voyage of the "Great White Fleet".

Hull was detached on the west coast, and the Great White Fleet continued on its cruise, showing the flag around the world.

She decommissioned on 30 October 1912 and joined the Reserve Torpedo Division at Mare Island, with which she made occasional training cruises to California ports.

She sailed with other destroyers for the Panama Canal Zone on 25 April and for the next three months was engaged in defensive patrol off the western approaches to that vital waterway.
