After sailing through the
Panama Canal to
San Diego and taking on supplies, she departed for
Pearl Harbor, and then to
Eniwetok Lagoon where she remained from 21 June to 16 July 1944 repairing damaged ships in that area. On 17 July, she joined a task unit bound for
Guam where she effected repairs to vessels, and thereafter proceeded to
Saipan,
Tinian,
Leyte Gulf,
Lingayen Gulf,
Kerama Retto, and
Okinawa, rendering her vital repair services to the ships of the fleet damaged by weather and battle. Following a period of overhaul, in June 1945 she proceeded to Saipan and returned to Pearl Harbor where she converted
LCIs for service as transports. Following decommissioning, she was placed in the Pacific Reserve Fleet in January 1947. Struck from the
Naval Vessel Register and turned over to the
Maritime Administration (MARAD) for disposal, she was sold by MARAD on 1 June 1980.
Egeria was scrapped in 1980. ==References==
