Following an abbreviated shakedown, ''Pleiades'' loaded cargo at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and on 22 November, got underway on her first convoy run through the U-boat infested waters of the North Atlantic Ocean to Iceland. Returning to New York the day after the United States entered World War II, ''Pleiades'' completed ten more convoy runs, six to Iceland and four to the United Kingdom by July 1943.
