After the cessation of hostilities, the Hancock was assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet where she remained in mothballs for seven years — a well earned rest. Following her recommissioning in 1954, the Hancock spent a year testing and perfecting her new steam catapults which were installed during her modernization period. The Hancock was the first American ship to be fitted with this equipment. In April, 1956, after her first peacetime Far Eastern cruise, the Hancock entered the drydock at San Francisco Naval Shipyard. Here shipyard workers and a skeleton crew of Hancock sailors completed the modifications begun two years earlier at Puget Sound when she was designated the first of the Hancock class. When her screws again churned blue salt water into white foam, she was equipped with an angled deck, hur- ricane bow, a mirror landing system, and a multitude of electronic and special weapons improvements that made her the newest, toughest carrier in the Pacific. The Hancock returned to active duty on November 16. 1956 and after a period of under- way training, she embarked for the Orient on 6 April 1957. Once again the steel leviathan prowled the open sea; a symbol of power and might discouraging aggressive movements in eastern waters. If called upon, the Hancock could and would strike, with annihilating force. Page 9

Listen and watch now. You . . . whether you he a crewman or a crewman ' s relative or friend, or just curious . . . vou will he a witness to the spectacle of coordination and teamwork, as hundreds of men will themselves into a fist of steel, and strike. There are nervous and anxious beginnings, as equipment and ammunition are taken from stowage. The mass of intelligence to he sifted through, changing plans to fit the time, weather, or still more intelligence. Assignments are conceived for the battle plan, then passed to the squadrons, divisions and teams. The stage is being set for the wedding of material and men. Come aboard and see. Feel the hum and insect whir of sound throughout the ship, feel the constant sense of strength and power about to be released, feel the slow and easy, muscular sway of the ship sliding through the hillocked sea.
