I am a little concerned that decommissionned only applies to naval vessels.

: 100 % correct. You're also right with decom. in a way, but that's not relevant here anyway. Search with lan:EN yields a 7-figure count on my search engine. But singular, please. Regards.//See disc box.

: I agree with laid up. There are quite a few laid-up tankers in the River Fal. To me decommissioned means taken out of service, as recently the "Ark Royal" has been decommissioned to be sold or broken up
