That occupation continued until 7 June 1972 at which time she was transferred to the Maritime Administration for lay up in its James River Group, National Defense Reserve Fleet. She was surveyed late in 1976, and her name was struck from the Navy List on 1 January 1977. On 3 May 1978 the ship was withdrawn by the Navy from the James River reserve fleet to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for stripping.
