Near the New York Navy Yard on 4 May 1944.
In this ship, the radar mast was stepped on top of the foremast rather than on the superstructure as in her sister. This displaced the lookout station, and the two kingposts in the bow had to be connected by a lattice crossbar to provide a new location for it. This ship also received two Welin davits on the main deck aft of the superstructure.
