In June 1949, Agawam switched her base of operations to Pearl Harbor. She carried gasoline to Alaska and various islands in the Central Pacific. On 13 November 1953, the tanker sailed for the Philippine Islands and served in that archipelago through April 1954.

Agawam then returned to Pearl Harbor and continued operating from that base supporting American installations throughout the Central Pacific. On 22 November 1956, Agawam left Hawaii, bound for San Diego, Calif. Upon her arrival, she began a preinactivation overhaul. Agawam was placed out of commission, in reserve, at San Diego on 31 January 1957. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 1 July 1960, and the ship was transferred to the Maritime Administration, and she was placed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet and laid up at Olympia, Wash. She was sold to Levin Metals in October 1975, presumably for scrapping.<ref>Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a4/agawam-ii.htm]</ref>
