USS Floyds Bay, a 1,766-ton Barnegat class small seaplane tender, was built at Houghton, Washington, and was commissioned in March 1945. After training at Pearl Harbor and in the Marianas, she arrived at Okinawa in late July and supported an air-sea rescue squadron and other seaplanes there into September. She then controlled seadromes at Wakanoura Wan and Nagoya, Japan, and at Shanghai and Tsingtao, China before returning to San Francisco in December 1946.

Between June 1947 and March 1948, Floyds Bay carried out a round-the-world good-will cruise, proceeding eastward to the Mediterranean and then to the Far East. Later in 1948 she supported aircraft flying photographic missions in Alaska. In the summer of 1949 she supported seaplanes and served as a diplomatic communications base at Hong Kong during the Communist advance into southern China. Between 1950 and 1959 she carried out annual deployments to the Far East and also performed West Coast duty which took her from Mexico to Alaska. Floyds Bay was decommissioned in February 1960 and was sold in July 1960.
