==Royal Navy service==
Upon commissioning, ''Gabbard'' joined the 5th Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Home Fleet based in the UK. In 1947, ''Gabbard'', while on a visit to Malmö, Sweden, narrowly avoided collision with the ferry ''Malmohus'' out of Aarhus, Denmark. The harbour at Malmö is in the form of a capital 'E' the central segment being a stone jetty. The destroyer , entered the harbour first and tied up with the stone jetty on her port bow. She was followed by ''Gabbard''. In order to depart, ''Gabbard'' swung round on her bow cable and started to steam ahead. At the same time the ferry entered the harbour. To avoid a collision, Gabbard'' went astern at speed. She then went ahead but was still going astern when she hit a ship on the stocks. The depth charge racks which protruded over the stern were forced up over the deck. She then was travelling forward and struck the end of the stone jetty on her starboard side. She suffered serious damage from the 'break' to the stern.
In 1948 ''Gabbard'' took part in the Autumn Cruise, which included the two aircraft carriers and , and three other smaller vessels. The cruise deployed to South Africa and the West Indies, performing a number of fly-the-flag visits to a variety of ports, and performing naval exercises and other duties. In 1949, ''Gabbard'', escorting ''Vengeance'' once more, deployed to the cold climate of the Arctic for experiments in that region.
In 1950, ''Gabbard'', along with a number of other vessels of the Home Fleet, including three aircraft carriers, such as , and the battleship , undertook a Spring cruise, visiting the Mediterranean, where the Group performed a number of fly-the-flag visits to port, and naval exercises.
