		When the Royal Navy left, the Holy Loch again became a haven for small craft, but the hot war had been replaced by a cold war which had the potential to be much more lethal, and the loch's respite was to be short-lived.
		USS Proteus remained at the Holy Loch until January 1963, when she was relieved by USS Hunley (AS-31) (Hunley was stationed in the Holy Loch 1963-1966 and again 1982-1987).
		However, with the reduction in European tension and the Cold War, it was announced on 6 February 1991 that the Holy Loch base would close and in March 1992 the last US Navy ship sailed out, thus ending a thirty one-year era of America presence in the Dunoon area.
