Changes

Adirondack remained employed at the Naval Station, [[New Orleans]], into 1921. Early in the year, she "looked after" Yuma (ex-Asher J. Hudson)—that tug (which had sunk on 28 October 1920) had been raised from the bottom of the waters off the naval station—until that ship was ultimately decommissioned during the ensuing summer. She also towed Eagle 1I3 from Pensacola to New Orleans in January 1921.

The ship's usefulness was quite apparent in mid-1921, the Commandant of the 8th Naval District desiring that Adirondack be retained in the district even after the imminent closing of the naval station at New Orleans. On 27 January 1922, it was proposed that she be transferred to the 5th Naval District, but an inspection of the ship revealed that excessively expensive repairs would be necessary to prepare her for sea. Accordingly, on 1 March 1922, Adirondack was placed out of commission. The tug was sold to B. Mitchell of New Orleans on 6 June 1922 and struck from the Navy list that same day.<ref>Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a2/accelerate.htm]</ref>
