decommissions
Removes from service
Decommissions is the third-person singular of decommission, meaning to withdraw something from active service.
Military equipment, nuclear plants, and ships get decommissioned when they're retired from use: The navy decommissions aging vessels.
The process often involves dismantling or safely disposing of the equipment.
In computing, decommissioning a server means taking it offline permanently.
