dekomissirovat

dekomissirovat is a Russian verb that translates to "to decommission" or "to remove from commission" in English. It is most commonly used in a military context, referring to the process of taking a military vessel, aircraft, or other piece of equipment out of active service. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as obsolescence, damage, or the end of its operational life. Once decommissioned, the item is typically either scrapped, sold for scrap, or preserved as a museum piece.

The term can also be used in a broader sense to describe the removal of any item from active use or service. For example, a factory might decommission a particular machine, or a city might decommission an old bridge. The core idea is the formal cessation of its operational status. The process often involves a formal ceremony or documentation to mark the transition. In military settings, decommissioning can be a significant event, symbolizing the end of an era for a particular ship or unit. The specific procedures for decommissioning vary widely depending on the type of asset and the country or organization involved.
