====1951–1952==== Those operations lasted until the beginning of the second week in January 1951. For the next two months, the attack cargo ship visited a number of ports in both Japan and Korea. Early in March, she participated in an amphibious feint at Chinnampo and then headed back to Japan. In late April and early May, ''Algol'' visited [[Hong Kong]]. There, she embarked the [[28th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)|British 28th Brigade]] and transported it to Inchon. After that mission, she returned to Japan where she conducted amphibious exercises until 17 June. On that day, the ship shaped a course back to the United States. She arrived in San Diego, California, on 30 June.{{sfn|DANFS|2015}} Between July 1951 and March 1952, she conducted training missions along the coast of southern California and between there and the Hawaiian Islands. She completed a yard period in Pearl Harbor in March 1952 and put to sea on her way to the Far East. She arrived in Japan late that month and took part in amphibious exercises off the island of [[Hokkaidō]]. ''Algol'' visited [[Yokosuka, Kanagawa|Yokosuka]] early in April and, from there, moved to Hong Kong for a two-week port call. May brought a visit to Subic Bay in the Philippines followed by more training exercises at [[Otaru, Hokkaidō|Otaru, Japan]]. Exercises with units of the [[United States Seventh Fleet|7th Fleet]] punctuated by visits to a number of Oriental ports occupied her time for most of the remainder of 1952.
