Swan operated as a part of ANZUK till April 1972, during which she visited Japanese ports, served as escort to the Royal Yacht Britannia throughout a Royal Visit to Thailand, and participated in SEATO Exercise Sea Hawk. She participated in Joint Army and Navy Problem three en route and arrived at Pearl Harbor with the fleet on 27 April. On 2 January 1924, Somers departed San Diego with the Battle Fleet for the annual fleet concentration, transited the Panama Canal on 18 January, and participated in winter workout routines and Fleet Problems II and III within the Caribbean until 31 March. When the fog lifted the following morning, Somers discovered Fuller and Woodbury aground on an offshore rock. On 27 August, she departed Puget Sound along with her squadron for San Francisco and San Diego; however in a fog on 8 September, mistakes in navigation induced Somers and eight other ships of the squadron to run aground at Point Honda, in what is understood as the Honda Point Disaster. Somers remained in the north for summer workout routines with the Battle Fleet and, on 25 July and 26 July, carried staff officers of President Warren G. Harding from Seattle, Washington to Vancouver, British Columbia, during the president's Alaskan trip.
