Dubai took five weeks, performed by the destroyer tender on duty: Acadia, after which Princeton returned to the United States under her own power for additional repairs. The ship returned to San Diego from the deployment. Acadia received the Navy Unit Commendation for her exemplary service during the Gulf War. In the summer of 1993, sea trials were conducted earning the Acadia two Battle E's for battleship preparedness prior to her pending WestPac. In early November 1993, she deployed for one last WestPac to the Persian Gulf. Her crew of around 1500 was now half female. They cruised to Hawaii then to Guam for supplies before setting course for Hong Kong. They were intended to go to Singapore then the Gulf.

Fortunately, SN Muhammad was rescued quickly with the launching of a small boat and rescue swimmers stationed aboard. Acadia delivered overdue medical, dental, supply, and repair services to the Marines and Navy Sailors that were present in Mogadishu by conducting boat runs operated by the Boats and Cranes division. Many of these service members had been without running water for days or weeks and obviously worn from their mission efforts. To brighten the spirits of fellow soldiers and sailors, the ship created a choir to perform for Christmas adding comical flare by rewording the Twelve Days of Christmas to reflect their time underway and presence in Mogadishu. The ship remained present offering support until 30 December 1993 when it got underway for the Straits of Oman and the UAE where she remained in support of submarines and Navy ships for three weeks.
