She conducted gunfire support missions against forces threatening the peacekeeping force on 21 and 22 September until relieved on station by the battleship on 8 October. Visits to La Maddalena, Sardinia, and to Tangier, Morocco rounded out the destroyer's time in the U.S. 6th Fleet. Operating briefly with Spanish Navy units en route to the turnover port of Rota, "Arthur W. Radford" cleared Rota on 10 November with the battle group formed around the carrier . She arrived at Norfolk 11 days later, remaining there for the rest of 1983.
