August 1992, then hosted a tour by senior Russian naval officers and dignitaries. Drum departed San Diego on her next Western Pacific deployment on 27 December 1993. During this deployment, she visited Guam, Japan, and New Caledonia. In 1994, Drum participated in San Franciscos Fleet Week 94 and made a port visit to Astoria, Oregon. On 13 February 1995, Drum departed San Diego for her thirteenth and last deployment to the Western Pacific, which included a visit to Guam. While leaving port in Hong Kong during the deployment, she collided with the Panamanian-registered cargo ship Sei Bright. Sei Bright suffered slight damaged to her bow. No one was injured on either ship nor did Drum suffer notable damaged. Drum returned to San Diego on 13 April 1995. Her Commanding Officer was relieved of duty pending investigation of the collision, later resolved as "not for cause." At 1300 hours on 20 May 1995, an inactivation ceremony was held for Drum at San Diego. In late May 1995, she departed San Diego for the last time, destined for Pearl Harbor, where she would undergo deactivation at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. Decommissioning and disposal Drum was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 30 October 1995. Afterwards, she was stored at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, awaiting entry into the Nuclear-Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program for scrapping. On 20 May 2010 the ex-Drum entered drydock for the last time. The ship was recycled in drydock three at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and IMF. In early 2011 her reactor compartment was shipped to Hanford, Washington, for burial. The sail of the USS Drum was removed for display. It is currently on display at U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Illinois. Preservation efforts The non-profit Mare Island Park Historic Foundation was raising money to return Drum to Vallejo as a floating museum ship. In Fiscal Year 1997, the United States Congress authorized the transfer of Drum to Vallejo at "no cost to the U.S. Government". If enough money had been raised to cover the cost of that transfer, Drum would have been transferred to Vallejo after removal of her nuclear reactor and decontamination of her hull. These efforts were unsuccessful.
