Decommissioning and Transfer To Greece
On 25 March 1971 Terrell County was decommissioned at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard at Bremerton and placed in the Reserve Fleet there. She was berthed at the Pier "D" Inactive Ship Facility at Bremerton.
Transferred, on loan, to Greece under the Security Assistance Program, she was renamed Oinoussai (L104) in Hellenic Navy service and was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 November 1976.
Sold outright to Greece in March 1977, Oinoussai was decommissioned by the Greek Navy on 20 March 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words transfer and/or greece:
“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)
“Tell Greece that her spring has been taken out of her year.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
