It continued it military service into the Korean War and arrived in Vietnam in 1966 as part of the United States Navy / Coast Guard's 'Operation Market Time' that was to continue until 1973. Operation Market Time was an effort by the US Military (The Coast Guard is a Military attachment) and the Republic of South Vietnam to prevent the movement of supplies and men from North Vietnam to South Vietnam by sea. (This effort was severely hampered when in 1968 - 69 the ARVN managed to lose some 1,300 hundred vessels (intact) to the Viet Cong thus expanding the Navy and the size of the task of Operation Market time.
