	BuShips always works to prevent decommissioning a ship. However, there are times when it becomes unavoidable. Possible reasons for a ship to be decommissioned include one or more members of the command triad lacking coursework, number of crew below the minimum for the hull size, too few officers for the hull size, and by the decision of the crew. For most of these situations, there are alternative courses of action, such as a ship downgrade (follow the [[BuShips:CO_Manual/Processes/Upgrade\|Ship Upgrade]] procedure in this case, but submit the [~~https~~://~~forums.~~trmn.org/~~download~~/~~file.php?id=68~~ Downgrade/Decommissioning Request Form]) or finding replacements command triad members who have the requisite training.
