Decommissioning and Fate
Vendetta paid off on 9 October 1979. After spending time moored at Athol Bight, during which she was used as a parts hulk for sister ship Vampire, the destroyer was sold for ship breaking. Vendetta was towed to her fate in January 1987.
Following an overhaul of the RAN battle honours system, completed in March 2010, Vendetta's service was recognised with the honours "Malaysia 1964–66" and "Vietnam 1969–70".

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“See him, when starved to death and turned to dust,
Presented with a monumental bust!
The poet’s fate is here in emblem shown:
He asked for bread, and he received a stone.”
—Samuel Wesley (1691–1739)
