Mount Katmai
Following the armistice, "Mount Katmai" returned to CONUS for overhaul at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. She got underway for the Far East in May 1954 for a six-month tour, the first of nine WestPac deployments in the following decade, in which she alternated service on the west coast with operations in the Far East. In December 1964 "Mount Katmai" commenced an extensive overhaul period, including installation of increased communications capabilities and a helicopter deck for vertical replenishment.
