This case was almost simultaneous with two other cases of mass disobedience in other Canadian naval ships at very distant other locations: the destroyer "Athabaskan" at Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico and the aircraft carrier in the Caribbean Sea. In both of these other cases, the respective captains acted similarly to their colleague aboard " Crescent". On 23 March, the destroyer was relieved on station at Nanjing by and sailed for Hong Kong. The ship remained in China until May when "Crescent" sailed for home. In November 1949, "Crescent" was paid off into the reserve. In 1950, the destroyer was designated the east coast training destroyer and her complement reduced.
