Underway for the east coast early on 16 April, Barnes arrived at Balboa in the Canal Zone on the 24th, transited the canal on the 27th, and resumed her voyage the next day. The escort carrier laid over in Norfolk for four days before entering Boston on 11 May. There, Barnes was placed out of commission on 29 August 1946. Despite her reclassification as an "escort helicopter aircraft carrier" and her redesignation as CVHE-20 effective 12 June 1955, the carrier never returned to service in that, or any other, role. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 1 March 1959, and she was sold to Union Minerals and Alloys Corp. on 1 October 1959. She was broken up in Japan in 1961.
