The last VPB-4 aircraft arrived at NAS San Diego, coming under the operational control of FAW-14. Post-deployment leave was given to all hands through the end of the month. In January 1945, the squadron began to reform with new personnel and equipment, the PB2Y-5.

During this period a new mission was assigned, that of training replacement crews in the operation of the PB2Y-5/5H and 3R aircraft. Transpacs were conducted in May to July 1945 to bring replacement crews and aircraft to NAS Kaneohe for deployment in WestPac. With the conclusion of hostilities in September 1945, the wholesale disestablishment of squadrons began. VPB-4 was disestablished at Nasa San Diego on 1 November 1945.
