The next stop was Saipan and Tinian where the main activity was nearly over. Okinawa was next on LSM-170's agenda. She arrived during the final stages of the invasion. After arriving she encountered Typhoon Louise as it passed through the island area. The ship lost both anchors near Buckner Bay and floated freely until grounding on the small island of Yanabaru, nearly high and dry. Fortunately this occurred at low tide. When the high tide occurred the crew was able to winch her off the island using the stern anchor engine and a cable to a distant reef.

With no real damage LSM-170 loaded Army personnel and equipment which was delivered to Nagasaki, Japan. Her assignment completed, LSM-170 headed back to the States via Hawaii and the Panama Canal, eventually reaching Lake Charles, LA., where she decommissioned, 2 May 1946. She was struck from the Naval Register at an unknown date and sold in October 1946 to LSS Marine Co., Camp Hill, PA.
