Reclassified LSM(R)-528 on 21 April 1945, she was laid down on 19 May 1945 at the Brown Shipbuilding Co., Inc., Houston, Texas, launched on 16 June 1945, and commissioned on 2 September 1945.

However, after two days at sea, she ran into a storm and was diverted to Naval Frontier Base, Burrwood, Louisiana.

Completing shakedown training on 15 November, she reported a week later to Commander LSM(R) Squadrons, Little Creek.

On 29 November, she sailed for Green Cove Springs, FL, with orders to report for inactivation.
