The Magnolia was originally a Chimo-class mine layer built for the U.S. Army Coastal Artillery Corps in 1942 by the Marietta Manufacturing Company, Point Pleasant, West Virginia. She was christened the Colonel John Storey. She transferred to the Navy and was commissioned as the USS Barricade on 7 April 1944. She was acquired by the Coast Guard and converted for use as a buoy tender at the Bethlehem Shipyard in San Francisco, California. She was commissioned CGC Magnolia on 19 October 1947.

She was first assigned to San Francisco and tended aids to navigation along the California coast with occasional search and rescue duties as required. From 28 to 29 April 1951 she assisted the Japanese M/V Flyer. On 9 February 1960 she assisted the disabled M/V Angelo Petri two miles south of the San Francisco Bar. On 5 June 1963 she assisted following the collision between the USNS Asterion [T-AF 63]and the Japanese M/V Kokoku Maru and transported 19 crew members from the Japanese ship to San Francisco. From 21 to 24 June 1965 she escorted the damaged catamaran Judy Al, 165 miles southwest of Eureka, California to that port as her hull was too damaged to permit towing.

She transferred to Astoria, Oregon on 1 September 1965. On 6 December 1967 she escorted the distressed M/V David E. Day, which had grounded on the Columbia River Bar. On 10 August 1968 she assisted following the collision between Seatrain Washington and Rose S, 17 miles east of Cape Flattery in fog.

She was decommissioned on 13 August 1971.
