Ute operated at Massacre Bay, Attu, until 7 August when she towed two LCT's to Constantine Harbor Amchitka. After leaving her tow there, the tug picker up another LCT and proceeded to Adak which she reached on the 10th. Two days later, she sailed with the Kiska-bound attack force. However, that operation proved to be unnecessary, since the Japanese had evacuated the island a short time before, leaving only a few stray dogs to contest the invasion.
