The turnover was in Bremerton, WA, where the decomm'ed Alabama was berthed. She later made a pitstop in the shipyard for a refit for towing, and was towed to Mobile after conversion/safing.

From Wikipedia:

The ship was awarded to the state on June 16, 1964, and was formally turned over on July 7, 1964 in ceremonies at Seattle, Washington.

It was actually Bremerton, not Seattle, but close enough.

BTW, my mom is from Foley...God's country, LA.....
