Decommissioning and Transfer
On 15 January 1957, Waxwing arrived at Astoria and was placed in commission in reserve with inactivation scheduled to be completed by May 1957.
While laid up in reserve, Waxwing was modified to become an anti-submarine escort ship; and she was transferred to the Republic of China on 14 October 1965 and served the Republic of China Navy as Chu Yung (PCE-67).

Famous quotes containing the word transfer:
“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)
