She underwent two extensive refits: the first at Liverpool, N.S., from November 30, 1942 to April 14, 1943; the second at Galveston, Texas from mid-March to May 25, 1944. The latter refit included the extension of her fo'c's'le. Upon its completion she returned briefly to Halifax before leaving on July 1 for three weeks' working-up in Bermuda. She was paid off at Sydney on July 15, 1945 and broken up the following year at Fort William, Ont.
