During a brief career near the end and shortly after World War I, YELLOWSTONE was decommissioned and returned to the Shipping Board for use.

The second YELLOWSTONE (AD-27) was commissioned in January, 1946. For 28 years she tended the destroyers of the Atlantic Fleet. During this period she earned a reputation of dependability and reliability, the nickname Old Faithful and the coveted battle efficiency E award ten times. She was decommissioned on September 11, 1974. The present YELLOWSTONE (AD-41), commissioned on June 28, 1980, is the first tender to be equipped with a destroyer refueling rig capable of sending refueling probe, robb and NATO refueling couplings to other ships.
