Decommissioning
In December 1970, Advance was placed out of commission and was berthed with the Mare Island Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet. Her name was apparently struck from the Navy list between 1 October and 31 December 1976. She was transferred by sale to Mr. Oskco Edwards of Capistrano Beach, California, on 6 January 1977. The ship was later sold several times to private owners and is now docked at a private island near the Riverside Holland Marina in Knightsen, California.
