She was decommissioned at the Mare Island Navy Yard three years later, on 15 March 1921, and sold on 5 August 1921. Her mast and bell, the only surviving parts of her, are preserved on the northeastern shore of Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.

Famous quotes containing the words post, war and/or final:
“I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
