In 1935, she took part in the annual exercises and fleet problems held off Hawaii.

For the next 6 years she operated there, taking part in various fleet problems in addition to local and squadron training exercises.

Except for fleet problems and exercises, she remained in the southern California area for the next two years.

In the spring of 1934, she sailed for the east coast and a two-ocean fleet problem.

From there, she continued her schedule of exercises and fleet problems into the 1930s.

For the remainder of the inter-war period, the ships were used in exercises and fleet problems.

From 4 January to 12 April 1939 she returned to the Atlantic for a fleet problem.
