Being unable to re-establish the contact the vessels returned to their former course. In the Vietnam War, the Bibb transported John Kerry after he was shot on his Swift boat. On the 12th she delivered the two submarines to a local Canadian escort unit off the Sambro Light vessel. Then it was on to Guantanamo Bay for more intensive training with the Navy.

On 7 February 1943, the U-402 torpedoed the Mallory as it straggled behind the convoy. Eight hours later she dropped one embarrassing charge on a contact believed to be using "pillenwerfer" tactics, whereby a U-boat uses an underwater decoy to enable the submarine to escape.

Soon after, a streak of heavy oil, 30 yards long, was sighted. In May 1965 she served on Ocean Station Charlie. At 1340 on that date the smoke of the main body of Convoy ONS-169 was sighted and two of the escorted vessels joined that convoy. The broken blower crankshaft of one of the merchant vessels in convoy was repaired on Bibb and transferred to it by breeches buoy. Two hours later a white wake was sighted passing astern from port to starboard and Bibb maneuvered on various courses at 15 knots for a sound contact, resuming normal patrol speed an hour later. After the conversion was completed, she was ordered to Boston, which remained her home port through October of 1973. This PAGE is dedicated to the memory and preservation of the USCGC George M.

Shortly after this flames ware observed on a second ship, just ahead of the first one. On 3 August 1942, Bibb, with escort commander in the cutter Ingham (WPG-35), was again on convoy duty. Just as the plane entered its steep glide, preparing to crash dive, two of Bibb's guns picked up the target and began firing. Her propelling plant consisted of twin propellers powered by geared turbines supplied with steam from oil fired boilers. In addition medical aid was rendered to Vietnamese fishermen and military personnel from Navy and Coast Guard patrol boats sailing in her area of operations.
