Decommissioning and Fate
Nemasket was placed out of commission, in reserve 22 September 1959 and stricken from the Naval Register on 1 July 1960.
Several sources, including the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships list Nemasket as being scrapped in 1961, those sources are incorrect.
Nemasket remained in Navy reserve until 6 June 1971 when she was transferred to the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet. She was then used as a fleet utility craft (FB-64) until 26 August 2005 when a contract for her dismantling was issued to ESCO Marine of Brownsville, Tx for $1,224,100. Nemasket departed the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet on 9 January 2006 heading to Brownsville and was completely dismantled by 6 June 2006.
