Please see the comment I made here with regards to the above dispute. Parsecboy (talk) 00:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear enough that the actual decommissioning ceremony was on October 1. But the Navy's official records say it was decommissioned on September 30. Was that for fiscal year purposes? I think that's very likely. But the Navy's records say what they say. However, I think I've found a wording that will encompass both dates. Orpy15 (talk) 04:32, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can clear up the reason for the date discrepancy, then you're a smarter man than I. By the way, love your website, I've gone through it many, many times. Orpy15 (talk) 21:27, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment....you are looking at 3 years of devoted work. The only truly credible records that I have been able to obtain regarding the date, you have seen. In truth, the colors were raised on the morning of 1 Oct. which means that she was a commissioned ship at that time. I just spoke on the telephone with Captain Rollins (the last Captain)and if you want to hear what he had to say about it please email me. Larryb442 (talk) 23:06, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
