Decommissioning and Fate
Nemasket was placed out of commission, in reserve 22 September 1959 and stricken from the Naval Register on 1 July 1960.
Several sources, including the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships list Nemasket as being scrapped in 1961, those sources are incorrect.
Nemasket remained in Navy reserve until 6 June 1971 when she was transferred to the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet. She was then used as a fleet utility craft (FB-64) until 26 August 2005 when a contract for her dismantling was issued to ESCO Marine of Brownsville, Tx for $1,224,100. Nemasket departed the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet on 9 January 2006 heading to Brownsville and was completely dismantled by 6 June 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Is it our job to judge? The gendarme, policemen and bureaucrats have been especially prepared by fate for that job. Our job is to write, and only to write.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
