Post-War Decommissioning
Following repairs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Parks proceeded to Green Cove Springs, Florida, and reported to the Commander, 16th Fleet (Inactive) on 29 November 1945. She decommissioned in March 1946; but, with the Korean War, she was taken off the disposal list and placed in reserve at Green Cove Springs in May 1951. In 1970 she was berthed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was sold on 15 October 1973, and scrapped.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
