Recommissioned on 24 September 1869, Frolic patrolled the fishing grounds off Nova Scotia between April and October 1870. She arrived at Washington, D.C., on 26 October 1870 and was decommissioned there on 11 November for repairs. On 18 January 1872, she was recommissioned at Washington, Lt. Comdr. G. C. Remey in command. On 19 February, Frolic departed Washington, D.C., to relieve Tallapoosa on patrol off the New England coast. She concluded that assignment in May and returned to Washington on the 24th. Between 12 and 16 June 1872, she made the passage between Washington and [[New York]]. At the latter port, she became station ship and, on the 29th, broke the flag of Vice Admiral Stephen C. Rowan. She served alternately as station ship at New York and on patrols at sea until 30 April 1874 at which time she was decommissioned at Philadelphia for repairs. Recommissioned on 18 August 1875, Frolic departed Philadelphia for duty on the South Atlantic Station a week later. She cruised the coasts of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil for a little over two years. She returned to Washington, D.C., on 20 October 1877 and was decommissioned there for the last time on 31 October 1877. Frolic remained at [[Washington]], in ordinary, until sold to Mr. J. P. Agnew, of Alexandria, Va., on 1 October 1883.

It has been said that the Navy possessed a torpedo launch named Advance circa 1913. However, a careful search of pertinent records has failed to find evidence to substantiate that assertion.<ref>Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a3/advance-ii.htm]</ref>
