("Dutch") Schmidt, USNR was relieved by Lieutenant Junior Grade John P. Johnson, USNR, with Lt. (jg) Clifford I.D. Beck appointed as Executive Officer. After leaving Pearl Harbor, the PCE(C)-877 shipped to San Diego (February 1946), Balboa, Panama Canal Zone (March 1946), finally arriving in Charleston, South Carolina, in late March 1946. Lt. (jg) Lawrence E. Stream, USNR was appointed Executive Officer on 11 March 1946 after Lt.(jg) Beck was discharged. On 20 April 1946, Commanding Officer Lieutenant (jg) John P. Johnson, USNR was discharged, and XO Lt. (jg) Lawrence E. Stream was discharged on 1 May 1946. In fact, while the PCE(C)-877 had a post-war operating allowance of 67 crew members, records show on 1 April 1946 that only 44 crew remained on board, and by 1 July 1946, only 26 crew members were aboard. On 20 April 1946, Lieutenant William George (W.G.) Mann, Jr., USNR assumed command of the PCE(C)-877. From 1946 to April 1954 the ship was attached to Amphibious Control Squadron 2, exercising control and coordinating amphibious forces in the assaults from the sea and supporting embarked Marine forces once they are established ashore.

The ship proceeded from the Gulf of Mexico, via the Mississippi River and Illinois River to Chicago and reported to Naval Station Great Lakes. This coincided with the creation of the new Gunnery School at the Naval Station, which was dedicated in March 1954. On 27 October 1955, the ship was reclassified to PCE-877, its original classification, as it was no longer coordinating amphibious assaults and landings. Just four months later, on 15 February 1956, the ship was renamed the USS Havre (PCE-877) as part of a Navy-wide initiative to provide names to all remaining numbered ships. During its operation, the USS Havre (PCE-877) operated throughout the Great Lakes, engaging in 2-week cruises which provided valuable training for Naval Reservists, including anti-submarine warfare and gunnery exercises. Decommissioning The PCE-877's final voyage was sailing with the Ninth Naval District Reserve Destroyer Division fleet. The USS Havre (PCE-877) had spent sixteen years primarily moored at USNTC Pier Great Lakes Illinois. At 0603 on Monday 27 April 1970, the
