Haverfield sailed to Green Cove Springs, Florida, 25 March 1946, decommissioned and went into reserve 30 June 1947.

Famous quotes containing the words transfer, pacific and/or fleet:
“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)
“Really, there is no infidelity, nowadays, so great as that which prays, and keeps the Sabbath, and rebuilds the churches. The sealer of the South Pacific preaches a truer doctrine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
