After the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, Oak Hill recommissioned at San Diego 26 January 1951, Commander R.C. Houston in command.
Assigned to the Pacific Fleet, she participated in operation "Blue Jay", in Arctic waters, in the late summer months of 1951, and, between May and December 1952, took part in Operation Ivy — the atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshalls.
Following that duty she was transferred to the Atlantic Fleet and homeported at Norfolk.

In January 1955 Oak Hill returned to San Diego and Pacific Fleet duty, departing for her first regular WestPac deployment 31 March.
During her 1958 WestPac tour she supplied Nationalist Chinese offshore islands as they withstood shelling by Chinese Communist guns.
After 1965, her annual western Pacific deployments took her to South East Asia where she supported Naval operations in strife-torn South Viet Nam.
Operating primarily in the Da Nang – Cam Ranh Bay areas, she performed assignments as far south as the Mekong Delta and visited ports in Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan as well as in the Philippines.

Oak Hill was decommissioned on 26 October 1969, and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 31 October 1969.

She was sold for scrapping, 15 April 1970, to Marine Power and Equipment Co., Seattle Washington.

Oak Hill (LSD-7) earned five battle stars for World War II service and six campaign stars for Vietnam War service.
