Also many vets wonder what the finial disposition of their vessels was. It would be nice to have a summery of where the ship went from the time of the Korean War until it was scrapped or disposed of in some other way. Just something to think about.

More:

I obtained a VESSEL STATUS CARD from the Maritime Commission for the USS Bexar APA 237.

The ship was constructed by the Oregon Shipbuilding Company and completed 10-09-45 and delivered to the US Navy on 10-09-45. It served with the US Navy as an active vessel until 08-07-70 at 3:30 PDT when it was placed in the reserve fleet in Suisun Bay, California. Suisun Bay is in the northern end of the San Francisco Bay near Vallejo, CA.

On 07-01-72 the USS Bexar was transferred from the US Navy to the Maritime Commission. She was in the Maritime Commission's reserve fleet until 02-19-82 when it was sold to C. W. Enterprises & Investment Inc. for scraping in South Korea or Taiwan as part of a Trade In Program. The USS Bexar was physically delivered to C. W. Enterprises & Investment Inc. on 06-16-82 at 10:07 PM PDT.

If I come across any more information regarding the USS Bexar I'll let you know.

Keep up the good work.
