Following World War II, LST-1075 performed occupation duty in the Far East and saw service in China until mid-December 1946. She was decommissioned and transferred to the Republic of China Navy on 18 December 1946. The ship was struck from the Navy list on 12 March 1948.[3]
She was commissioned into the navy on 8 December 1946.
She took part in the Battle of Dachen Archipelago which lasted from January to February 1955.[4]
In 1957, she ran aground off Pingtung and later decommissioned on 1 November 1957. The ship was deemed unrepairable and scrapped. Her name was later taken over by LST-224.[4]
