I whakakorehia a Canberra i te 7 o Poutu-te-rangi 1947 a i whakanohoia ki te Pacific Reserve Fleet i te Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, i Bremerton, Washington. I tohua a Canberra me te tuahine o te kaipuke o Boston mo te huri ki nga kaipuke rererangi nui (i whakaingoatia a Canberra me te nama CAG-2), a i te 4 o Hanuere 1952, i toia ia ki te New York Shipbuilding Corporation i Camden, New Jersey mo te huri ki te kaipuke Boston-class. Pātai: anahea i whakakorehia a Canberra?
