..."The report of the transfers was signed by LT A. F. Jorgensen, USCG, as Commanding Officer.
On October 5, the EASTWIND departed and the HONNINGSVAAD arrived with new Norwegian garrison personnel commanded by a LT Hansen who relieved LT Tickter as the garrison commander.
On December 29, 1945, the CNO authorized CTF 24 to disestablish and abandon the base on Jan Mayen Island at the earliest practicable date authorized upon completion of negotiations with the Norwegians government and evacuation of equipment and personnel thus bring the involvement of the U.S. Navy with Jan Mayen Island to a close."
