P. Storrs, III, in command, recommissioned on 25 January 1960 after completing of SCB 110A conversion on 25 January 1960 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington. The modernization included installation of three C-11-1 steam driven catapults, which replaced her two hydraulic bow cats, designed to accommodate the newer and heavier jet aircraft. The entire port side was reconfigured with the adition of an 11 degree angle deck including one of three new catapults, Mk-7-Mod 2 arresting gear identical to that installed in the Forrestal-class carriers. The port quarter elevator and a enclosed hurricane bow were also constructed, to include relocation of the elevators and three new deck-edge elevators and new weapons elevators. In addition, electronics package was installed and hull blisters widened her beam to a matronly 120 feet to accommodate the increase in her displacement. Her hull was widened eight feet with the addition of blisters to give increased stability and tonnage. On the flight deck another dramatic change was the conversion to a Mod 2 hydraulic arresting gear system using only four wires instead of the previous multiple wire system. Gone were the centerline elevators. Now there were three on the deck edge including one on the port quarter. She also received a new suite of weapons elevators and a multitude of habitability and other improvements became standard in future carriers. Her overall displacement increased to 63,600 tons. The SCB-110A upgrade took 33 months to complete and she was the last of all three Midway-class Carriers to complete SCB 110A. After the SCB-110A modernization, the Coral Sea was the first aircraft carrier with a deck edge elevator on the port quarter After Coral Sea’s recommission, she became the largest ship ever commissioned on the West coast. Admiral J. S. Russell, Vice CNO and former Coral Sea CO, was the principal speaker. Captain J. S. Gray, Jr., a former XO, assumed command. Her recommissioning ceremony was most spectacular, if not unusual, with the appearance of the pipes and drums of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada providing the music; decommissioned on 24 April 1957; commenced first modernization, SCB 110A conversion on 16 April 1957 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington; completed overhaul in early 1953 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Va.; reclassified hull classification symbol CVA-43 on 1 October 1952, while still at sea; underwent overhaul at Norfolk Navy Ship Yard on 12 October 1952; completed overhaul at Norfolk Navy Yard, Va.
