In December 1962 she was reclassified an auxiliary submarine, AGSS-374, and she continued to serve as a reserve training submarine in Portland until 30 June 1967 when she was relieved by auxiliary submarine . Struck from the Naval Vessel Register on the same date, "Loggerhead" was sold for scrap in early 1969.

History of manifolds and varieties History of manifolds and varieties The study of manifolds combines many important areas of mathematics: it generalizes concepts such as curves and surfaces as well as ideas from linear algebra and topology. Certain special classes of manifolds also have additional algebraic structure; they may behave like groups, for instance. In that case, they are called Lie Groups. Alternatively, they may be described by polynomial equations, in which case they are called algebraic varieties, and if they additionally carry a group structure, they are called algebraic groups. The term "manifold" comes from German "Mannigfaltigkeit," by Riemann. In English, "manifold" refers to
