Bon Homme Richard then went out of commission on 15 May 1953 preparatory to modernisation at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. She was one of three Essex-class carriers to receive the SCB-27C and SCB-125 modernisation on one refit. Bon Homme Richard emerged from the shipyard with an angled and strengthened flight deck, enclosed "hurricane" bow, steam catapults, a new island, wider beam and many other improvements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Bon_Homme_Richard_(CV-31)
