Following these extensive overhaul periods, "Moosbrugger" deployed in 1996, along with "La Moure County" (LST-1194), "John L. Hall" (FFG-32) and "Narwhal" (SSN-671), to take part in UNITAS 96, a series of combined tactical at-sea operations, amphibious operations and in-port exercises with participating South American naval forces. During that deployment, "Moosbrugger" spent almost two weeks in Venezuelan waters conducting anti-submarine warfare, electronic warfare and anti-air gunnery exercises in the Caribbean Sea. She then departed for Brazil for the next phase of UNITAS.
