List of ship decommissionings in 1948

The list of ship decommissionings in 1948 includes a chronological list of ships decommissioned in 1948. In cases where no official decommissioning ceremony was held, the date of withdrawal from service may be used instead. For ships lost at sea, see list of shipwrecks in 1948 instead.

Date	Operator	Ship	Class and type	Fate and other notes
25 February	United States Navy	Randolph	Essex-class aircraft carrier	placed in reserve until recommissioned in 1953
21 April	United States Navy	Texas	New York-class battleship	donated to Texas as a museum ship and preserved at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site

unknown date	Royal Canadian Navy	Warrior	Colossus-class aircraft carrier	returned to the Royal Navy

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
