Number two, I believe most of the ships you speak of that we recommissioned were never taken off the naval register during their decommissioned period. For example, the USS Iowa was decommissioned, but still on the naval register, from 1990 through 2006.
I am not aware of any ships that were returned to USN service after being stricken from the US Navy register. It may have happened, but I suspect one would need to dig long and hard to find it.
