USS Brackett (DE-41) - End-of-War Decommissioning

End-of-War Decommissioning

Japan surrendered before the yard work was completed, and Brackett received orders to begin removing salvageable material in preparation for sale. Brackett was decommissioned on 23 November 1945 at Mare Island, and her name was struck from the Navy List on 5 December 1945. She was sold to National Metal and Steel Corp. at Terminal Island, California, in May 1947 and was scrapped.
