Robison was decommissioned on 1 October 1991, stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 20 November 1992 and sold for scrap on 20 June 1994. The plan was that it would be converted to a power barge with her sister ship, the USS Hoel DDG-13. That plan for Robison was changed after the power barge failure of the Hoel. See the reference of Power Barge in the entry for USS Hoel (DDG-13).
Robison was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for service off the Vietnamese coast.
