In April 1974, she concluded her long career and went out of service. Her name was struck from the Navy list, and she was sold for scrapping. The identity of her purchaser is unrecorded, but sources say that the tug is owned by the Historic Tugboat Education and Restoration Society. This ship is currently laid up at Pier 1 at Treasure Island, California, where she sprouted a leak in August 2009 and sank at the pier. News reports indicate that the ship would be hauled to Mare Island, CA for dismantling.
