Agwidale retained her name for the rest of her days under American registry, which extended through the depression years and World War II. Initially operated by the Clyde Steamship Co., she later worked under the flag of the Clyde-Mallory Line, and, still later, Agwilines, Incorporated, until she was sold to Chinese interests in 1946 and renamed Wei Ming. Her subsequent fate is a mystery.<ref>Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a4/agwidale.htm]</ref> | + | At noon on 11 April 1919, Agwidale was decommissioned and turned over to representatives of the United States Shipping Board, a civilian crew replacing a token Navy one the following afternoon.
