The last known photograph of the Annapolis. Taken after decommissioning while laid up in the Fleet Reserve Fleet in Long Beach and prior to being sold as scrap. The ship’s satellite dish is removed, the two directional antennas and the two omni-directional antennas are removed, and gun barrels removed. Also notice how high she is in the water due to her now empty fuel tanks.
