Final Decommissioning
Reclassified MSF-111 on 7 February 1955, Sage departed Charleston ten days later; and, on the 18th, arrived at Green Cove Springs, Florida, where she was decommissioned on 19 April 1955 and shifted to the Orange, Texas, berthing area. She remained in the Reserve Fleet until 1 July 1972 when she was struck from the Navy list. Sage was sold to Mexico on 4 November 1973.

Famous quotes containing the word final:
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
