==Service history== Departing Charleston 30 May 1945, ''Cusabo'' sailed to [[Norfolk, Virginia]] for training in [[Chesapeake Bay]] until 25 June when she departed for [[Newport, Rhode Island]]. Picking up tows there and at [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire]], she departed Newport on 4 July for [[San Diego, California]] arriving 27 August. She was underway again on 5 September, sailing to [[Pearl Harbor]], [[Eniwetok]], [[Guam]], and [[San Pedro Bay, Leyte]] on towing duty, returning to Guam with [[IX-149]] in tow. ''Cusabo'' remained in the [[Far East]] on towing and salvage duty at Guam, [[Saipan]], [[Iwo Jima]], and Eniwetok until 10 March 1946 when she proceeded to [[Bremerton, Washington]] for pre-inactivation availability and overhaul, arriving 11 May. She was placed out of commission, in reserve, in the [[Columbia River]] on 3 December 1946. In 1962, ''Cusabo'' was removed from the Columbia River Reserve Fleet and loaned to the government of [[Ecuador]], where she was returned to service as BAE ''Los Rios'' (RA-01). Later renamed BAE ''Cayambe'', the ship was permanently transferred (cash sale) to Ecuador under the [[Security Assistance Program]] on 1 August 1978. The vessel continued to serve in the [[Ecuadorian Navy]] until decommissioned in 1999. The final disposition of the ship is not known.
