She then departed for duty on Weather Station No. On 7 December she was underway to Argentia, Newfoundland, arriving there on 9 December.

It was while cruising in convoy formation on 6 February that the sound operator picked up a sound contact at 1, yards. The contact was described as "mushy" and one charge was dropped, set at feet. A short while later she regained contact and dropped an embarrassing pattern of five charges.
About one minute after the last detonation a considerable number of large white bubbles were seen in the area. The spot was circled and soundings continued for 45 minutes on all headings before search was abandoned. The next day, 7 February , a Navy escort in the convoy, while patrolling, reported a submarine on the surface distant about two miles. One Navy destroyer which was searching in the vicinity, dropped a depth charge pattern.
After several hours of search another Navy destroyer made contact and dropped a complete pattern in the vicinity of the water light dropped previously by INGHAM. INGHAM and the destroyer then searched an area with a five mile radium from the last contact but failing to regain it, rejoined the convoy. The convoy HX of 18vessels was taken over that day.
While moored from 4 June to 10 June , parties from INGHAM were detailed to a British training unit for instruction in lookout duty, anti-aircraft defense and submarine attack, the latter being with an attack teacher aboard HMS Osprey. Regaining the contact she fired a complete pattern of three large charges astern and five from "K" guns. The contact disappeared and no further action was taken. On the 14th a convoy of 14 vessels from Iceland joined the convoy, making a total of 62 vessels and the escort units were augmented by the cutter Duane WPG and two Navy destroyers.
