Return To Peacetime Service
On her return to New London, Owasco resumed peacetime operations. After refresher training at Guantanamo Bay in 1972, during which the vessel earned a second consecutive "E" for excellence in operational readiness, she returned to her home port in December of the same year. Owasco was decommissioned on 27 June 1973 and sold for scrap on 7 October 1974.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return, peacetime and/or service:
“Adolescence is a time when children are supposed to move away from parents who are holding firm and protective behind them. When the parents disconnect, the children have no base to move away from or return to. They aren’t ready to face the world alone. With divorce, adolescents feel abandoned, and they are outraged at that abandonment. They are angry at both parents for letting them down. Often they feel that their parents broke the rules and so now they can too.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“The return to solid values is always hard.... Distress, panic, and hard times have marked our pathway in returning to solid values.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
