Fate
Most of the Haskell-class ships were mothballed in 1946, with only a few remaining in service. Many of the Haskell class were scrapped in 1973-75. A few were converted into Missile Range Instrumentation Ships.
As of the 31 October 2011 MARAD inventory, there is only one ship built as Haskell class left in the inventory: The USS Sherburne, which was converted to USS Range Sentinel, is in the National Defense Reserve Fleet at James River, Virginia. Her status is listed as "Disposal".
The USS Gage, the last remaining ship in the Haskell configuration, was scrapped in 2009 at ESCO Marine, in Brownsville, Tx.
