She was scrapped in 1974. During WWII, the USS Skagit mainly participated in the Pacific Theater, and was present at the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945. The USS Skagit was placed into service again for the Korean War, training in San Diego. The Skagit also entered the Todd Shipyard, San Pedro, California, on 25 October, 1966 for an overhaul and remained there until 7 March 1967. On 31 May, the ship deployed to the western Pacific for a seven-month tour in Vietnam. Skagit returned to San Diego on 10 December 1967, and operated along the West Coast until 4 April, 1969. Based on the construction and materials of the belt, we believe this belt dates to the Korean War service period of the Skagit, and speculate whether this belt belonged to part of the crew when the ship was at the Todd Shipyard in San Pedro, also the location of our shop and close to where we found the belt. Pre-owned, good condition, a little wear visible to the belt and to the edge of the buckle, please view photos
