The yard work, which gave the ship an interim surface-to-surface missile capability, lasted until 31 January 1972' - followed by installation of new main diesel engines, additional communications equipment, and self-synchronizing clutches.

- Disposition for this hull: 'decommissioned at Pier 11, U.S. Naval Amphibious Base, on 1 October 1977 along with her sister ships Ready (PG-87), Grand Rapids (PG-98) and Douglas (PG-100). She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register the same day [1 October 1977]. Transferred to the Environmental Protection Agency on 17 January 1978, which retained her name, Antelope was placed in service on Lake Michigan as a survey vessel to gather data to determine the impact of waste disposal upon the Great Lakes. She was renamed Peter W. Anderson in 1985 and served into 2001 as an ocean survey vessel.'

- Finding
- An aluminum-hulled motor gunboat built 1965-67 inside the Navy's documented asbestos-insulation era, with three documented availabilities at Long Beach Naval Shipyard during that yard's documented asbestos-overhaul era, would have carried era-standard asbestos applications: thermal insulation, machinery and diesel/turbine-exhaust lagging, gaskets, valve packing, electrical insulation, and interior deck coverings. As a CODOG boat (diesels + gas turbine, no steam plant) the boiler/turbine-lagging pathway of steam vessels does not apply, but machinery/exhaust lagging and accommodation-space applications remain plausible era-standard fits.

(2) Antelope II (IX-109) was the torpedoed Liberty ship M. H. DeYoung (EC2-S-C1, Permanente Metals, MCE Hull 1587), taken over under bareboat charter 4 Oct 1943, a non-self-propelled dry cargo storage vessel with Service Squadron 8 (Espiritu Santo/Subic Bay), stricken 21 May 1946, sold for scrapping 3 Mar 1948. (3) Antelope I was a Civil War tinclad stern-wheel steamer (ex-Lavinia Logan), sunk September 1864. None is this hull.
