Summary

[edit]
Description The U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier USS Saipan (CVL-48) being reactivated. Saipan was decommissioned at Bayonne, New Jersey (USA), on 3 October 1957. She remained in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet until March 1963. She then entered the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company yard at Mobile, Alabama (USA) to begin conversion to a command ship. Very briefly designated CC-3, she was instead reclassified as Major Communications Relay Ship AGMR-2 on 1 September 1964 while still undergoing conversion. On 8 April 1965, she was renamed Arlington, in honour of Arlington County, Virginia, the site of one of the U.S. Navy's first radio stations; and, on 12 August 1966, she completed her conversion. As USS Arlington (AGMR-2), she was recommissioned on 27 August 1966.
