Algonquin was modernized to a Type 15 frigate at Esquimalt and recommissioned on 25 February 1953 with the hull number 224.
She was not selected for duty in the Korean War and was instead posted to CFB Halifax on the North Atlantic coast where she spent much of the next 14 years working with Canada's NATO allies.
The First Canadian Escort Squadron came into being on 10 November 1953 as part of Atlantic Command with Algonquin as its flagship.
The squadron was initially composed of Algonquin and the Prestonian-class frigates Lauzon, Prestonian and Toronto.
In September the First Canadian Escort Squadron took part in the NATO naval exercise "New Broom II" and in October "Morning Mist" before performing a two-month training cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, making several port visits.
The squadron returned to Canada on 10 December 1954.
In January 1958, Algonquin collided with HMCS Nootka while operating in the Atlantic with the First Canadian Escort Squadron.

Algonquin returned to Esquimalt in 1967 and was paid off on 1 April 1970.
She was sold for scrap and broken up in Taiwan in 1971.
