She sailed from the United Kingdom to Malta as a part of Convoy KMS 43 on 11 December 1943, and, at least for a time, she served in the Pacific. After USS Bangust (DE-739) had already attacked a submarine target of Roi in June 1944, BYMS-2203 assisted USS Greiner, USS SC-1364, and BYMS-2282 on in searching for Japanese submarine , even though, unknown at the time, Bangust\u2019s attack had already been successful. She was returned to U.S. custody on 12 November 1946 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register, 13 December 1946. Her final fate is unknown."@en . . . . "--11-12"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
