World War II saw her engaged in reconnaissance and escort missions, and she participated in the Battle at Cape Esperance, where she was damaged. After repairs, she headed to the Mediterranean Sea, where she covered the landings of Allied troops on Sicily and Taranto. Then, USS Boise returned to the Pacific Ocean, where she fought in the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Surigao Strait. Over the war, the cruiser was awarded 11 battle stars. In 1951, the ship was sold to Argentina.
