Disposal
From 10 to 13 October 1978, the Board of Inspection and Survey conducted a survey of Agerholm to determine her material condition and the feasibility of keeping her in active service. The board found that her age and lack of modern capabilities could not be corrected economically. Agerholm was decommissioned on 1 December 1978, and her name was struck from the Navy List on the same day. She was sunk as a target on 18 July 1982. The wreck lies in 400 fathoms (730 m) of water, at approximately 32°45′N 119°32′W / 32.75°N 119.533°W / 32.75; -119.533.
Agerholm earned four battle stars for Korean War service and eight for tours off Vietnam.
