Inter-war Period
Following her arrival at Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington, Montana remained there from 16 August 1919 – 2 February 1921, when she was decommissioned. On 7 June 1920, Montana was renamed—in order to use her original name for a prospective new battleship of the South Dakota class, BB-51---Missoula, for Missoula, Montana, and reclassified CA-13. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 15 July 1930 and sold to John Irwin, Jr. on 29 September. In October 1935, the armored cruiser was scrapped in accordance with the London Naval Treaty.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“Finally she grew quiet, and after that, coherent thought. With this, stalked through her a cold, bloody rage. Hours of this, a period of introspection, a space of retrospection, then a mixture of both. Out of this an awful calm.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
