Twing (ret.) accepted the ship in June, 1964 for the U.S.S. Alabama Battleship Commission. She was demilitarized as regulations require. Concrete was poured in the recoil mechanism of her 5-in. and 16-in. guns and holes were burned in her breeches.

Here special towing gear was fitted and her twin propellers and other underwater gear were removed to reduce drag.
