In 1939-40 Knoll served with Patrol Wing Five. He had an extended period on the staff of Commander in Chief Asiatic Fleet, 1940-42, and was evacuated from Corregidor just before it fell to the Japanese in May 1942.

He commanded the attack transport Menard (APA-201) in 1952 before returning to service in the strategic planning section of OpNav. In 1955 Knoll was commanding officer of the light cruiser Roanoke (CL-145) and from 1955 to 1957 was chief of staff to Commander Seventh Fleet. From 1957 to 1959 he served in the OpNav fleet maintenance division and as chairman of the Ship Characteristics Board. In 1959-60 he was Commander Destroyer Flotilla Four.
