Cunningham’s command with the hull number DE-676 and served in the US Navy for 6 years until it was decommissioned on June 28, 1949. Meanwhile, the ship was reclassified as a high-speed transport, with the hull number APD-75. During its activity, it carried a complement of 213 men on board and it had the main missions in Bermuda, Derry, New London, Hampton Roads, Maui, Borneo, San Pedro, Sasebo or Labrador.
