 Fiscal year 1926 turned out to be "Halcyon"s last year of active BOF service.By the time "Albatross II" began operating for the BOF in August 1926, taking up "Halcyon"s former duties in and around the Gulf of Maine, the BOF had laid up "Halcyon".Deeming her to be "well built" but of "peculiar design" and no longer suited to BOF requirements, the BOF condemned and sold her in November 1927.
