| Overhaul May through June 1945 |
| In anticipation of the invasion of Japan, Indianapolis
received the most up-to-date electronic equipment, including new main-battery
director radars, fire control radar on two 40mm mounts near the after funnel,
electronic countermeasure equipment and a new communications
capability. |
| The 20mm battery was again changed, with eight twin 20mm mounts
replacing the singles. The starboard catapult was removed, the aircraft crane
beefed-up, and the old biplane SOCs were replaced by two new SC-2 Curtis
Seahawks. Indianapolis took a few days for sea trials and then put
into Hunter's Point Navy Yard, San Francisco. |
