Post-war, she was decommissioned and ended up in the hands of the Dominican Navy as Juan Pablo Duarte in 1947, but ran aground and taken out of service in 1949.

While on convoy duty 29 April 1945, she simultaneously received a sonar contact and sighted the snorkel of German submarine U-879, 98 mi (158 km) east of Cape Henry, Virginia.

Finally contact was lost and a large quantity of oil was seen to rise to the surface, indicating destruction of the U-boat.

She was sold, 29 July 1947 to Louis Moore of Miami, Florida then resold on 19 March 1948 to the Dominican Republic as Juan Pablo Duarte (F102).

She was then sold to Félix Benítez, a Puerto Rican engineer, who repaired her and converted her to his personal yacht Moineau.
