NavSource: Photographic History of the U.S. Navy Wikipedia | |
Unknown.
It is believed that Stanton was sunk as a target off the island of Puerto Rico in 1972, but there is also evidence that she was scrapped in 1972. The two are not necessarily contradictory; she may have been sunk as a target, then the wreck salvaged and scrapped, or she may have been stripped to little more than a floating hull, then used as a target.
