On
11 July Perch departed Pearl Harbor and after fueling at Saipan, proceeded north for duty in the "Lifeguard League" off Japan. On
13 August she rescued a Navy
Corsair pilot from the water two miles offshore,
bombarded fishing vessels and buildings on the beach, and retired to sea. A few hours later the same day, she picked up another pilot from the same fighter squadron five miles offshore. Two days later Japan capitulated and
Perch returned to Pearl Harbor
30 August.
