Inter-war Period
Following her arrival at Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington, Montana remained there from 16 August 1919 – 2 February 1921, when she was decommissioned. On 7 June 1920, Montana was renamed—in order to use her original name for a prospective new battleship of the South Dakota class, BB-51---Missoula, for Missoula, Montana, and reclassified CA-13. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 15 July 1930 and sold to John Irwin, Jr. on 29 September. In October 1935, the armored cruiser was scrapped in accordance with the London Naval Treaty.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
