Although Bandera participated in tactical and amphibious training off Maui from 3 April to 31 May, she never participated in any landing operations. She left the Southwest Pacific on 19 June carrying Army troops whom she disembarked at San Francisco before continuing on to Everett, Wash., for upkeep. At the end of June, she embarked troops and [[cargo]] and began another voyage to Pearl Harbor where she resumed ferry service between the islands. Bandera was at Ulithi in the Caroline Islands when she received news of the Japanese capitulation. She steamed to Jinsen, Korea, in October before being assigned to the "Magic Carpet" fleet that returned veterans to the United States for discharge. She made one trip to Shanghai, [[China]], in January and February 1946.

Bandera arrived in [[San Francisco]] on 15 February 1946, disembarked her contingent of returning troops, and then sailed for Norfolk, where she arrived on 11 March for inactivation preparations. The transport was decommissioned on 7 May and returned to the Maritime Commission on the 14th. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 21 May, and she was berthed in the James River with the National Defense Reserve Fleet until January 1974 when she was sold to Consolidated Steel Corp. and scrapped.<ref>Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/b2-list.htm]</ref>
