It was common for a ship to be so kept until any operational sisters (in this case Vampire) were themselves decommissioned . As such Vendetta was eventually sold for scrap in 1986 and broken up the following year , after some 8 years of unmaintained layup .
From time to time she would be seen at Garden Island as more parts were raided .
