After arriving on 13 March, she underwent a thorough overhaul, including the replacement of her worn-out main battery and secondary guns. She also received a new Mk.34 main battery director, which was equipped with the latest Mk.8 fire control radar, on her aft superstructure. With the kamikaze threat in mind, her anti-aircraft armament was increased to seventy-one 20 mm guns in twenty-seven single and twenty-two twin mounts. An additional pair of 40 mm Bofors guns in a twin mount was installed on top of turret 2, for a total of forty-two guns. With the work done, she went on sea trials off San Francisco, followed by training at San Diego. She left San Francisco on 12 July and arrived in Pearl Harbor on the 18th, where she engaged in further training from 20 to 23 July. The next day, she departed to join the invasion fleet off

Another stint in Puget Sound began on 6 June and concluded on 3 September, when she returned to San Pedro. She spent the rest of the year alternating between there and San Francisco, seeing little activity. She made a short trip to San Francisco in February 1938 and took part in 1406:
