When returned to the United States Navy, she was designated USS Northwind (AGB-5) until 15 April 1952, when she was renamed Staten Island to distinguish her from her successor USCGC Northwind (WAGB-282) which had been laid down shortly after WAGB-278 was lent to the Soviets. The ship was transferred to the US Coast Guard as USCGC Staten Island (WAGB-278) in February 1965, and served until November 1974, before being scrapped.
