As "Hamul" entered the final stages of the decommissioning process, she was called back into active service as station ship at Plymouth, England. Reaching the British port on 17 April 1947, "Hamul" remained there for three years tending various American ships and making quarterly cruises to Atlantic and Mediterranean ports. Again ordered to decommission, "Hamul" departed Plymouth on 17 July 1950, but the outbreak of war in Korea again called for every available ship. Going west via Norfolk, "Hamul" reached Sasebo, Japan on 23 October and began servicing the fleet operating off the Korean coast.
