Decommissioning
Lucid was struck from the Navy List on 15 May 1976 and sold for $40,250 for scrap in a Navy sale in November. The scrap yard removed valuable metals and equipment and resold her. After passing through numerous civilian owners, Lucid was acquired for use as a museum.
In November 2011, it was announced that Lucid will be moving to Stockton, California for further restoration; she will be moored at a pier of the former Naval Reserve center on Monte Diablo Ave. and plans are being made to move it to downtown Stockton.
On March 15, 2012, USS Lucid was dedicated at a ribbon cutting ceremony presented by the Stockton Historical Maritime Museum and the San Joaquin Building Futures Academy. The Lucid currently is berthed at the "Building Futures Academy" site where SJCOE students will be directly involved in all phases of this exciting project. Opportunities to learn and practice skills developed from woodworking preservation and finishing, drafting, electrical, plumbing and metal fabrication, to historical research will all be presented.
