Service history
World War II, 1944-1945
After shakedown off Bermuda, Poughkeepsie called at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for post shakedown availability from 29 October through 31 January 1945. During February and March, she made one convoy escort run to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Then, after anti-submarine warfare (ASW) training in the New London Operating Area at the end of March, she commenced ASW patrols and convoy escort duties along the East Coast, operating between New York City and Norfolk, Virginia, through 3 July 1945.
Standing out of New York Harbor on 9 July, the frigate transited the Panama Canal, reported to Commander, Pacific Fleet, for duty, and put in at Seattle, Washington, to prepare for transfer to the Soviet Union.
Soviet Navy, 1945–1949
Leased to the Soviets on 2 October 1945, she served under the Soviet flag as EK-25 until 31 October 1949, when she was returned to the United States at Yokosuka, Japan.
Japanese Navy, 1953-1969
Poughkeepsie remained at Yokosuka in an inactive status until nominated for transfer to Shipping Control Administration Japan (or SCAJAP) on 23 March 1951 for weather patrol duties. Transferred on loan to Japan on 14 January 1953, the frigate was renamed Momi (PF-284) and commenced operations under the Japanese flag. Struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 December 1961, she was transferred to the Japanese outright on 28 August 1962. Decommissioned on 1 April 1965, she was used as a non-operable dockside training ship until early 1969 when she was transferred to South Korea for cannibalization.
