Dutton retired from service at Gulfport, Mississippi. At least she got a ceremony. The article includes a brief history as well. This is from the Naval Oceanographic Office Bulletin September-October, 1989. |
On October 16, 2007, shipmate Chet Headley visited USNS Dutton at All Star Metals in Brownsville, Texas where the ship awaited final disposal.
Here is a full page photo scroll of his visit.
According to the Mariners website victory ship index, in 1989 Dutton was laid up at the Beaumont, Texas "National Reserve Fleet".
These images from Google Earth c. 2006 show what appears to be the ship.
