Acontius reached the west coast on 19 January 1946, was decommissioned at San Francisco on 22 March, and returned to the Maritime Commission. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 17 April 1946. In the hands of the Maritime Commission, she resumed the name Cape Carthage and carried it until disappearing from the register of merchant ships in the mid-1960's.<ref>[http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a2-list.htm Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships]</ref>
