The CV-10 was reconstructed to SCB-27A design by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard which began in March 1951. It was recommissioned in February 1953. The CV-10 was reclassified as an “Attack Aircraft Carrier” and was re-designated CVA-10. The CV-10 has a modernized flight deck with an enclosed “hurricane” bow. The CV-10 was reclassified as an “Anti-submarine Warfare Support Aircraft Carrier” and was re-designated as CVS-10 on September 1, 1957.
