Following WWII, she participated in Operation "Magic Carpet". Decommissioned in March 1946, she was sold for scrapping in April 1947.

During that morning, after sending planes to attack the U.S. base at Midway, the Japanese carriers Akagi, Kaga and Soryu were fatally damaged by dive bombers from USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Yorktown (CV-5). Later in the day, Yorktown was abandoned after bomb and torpedo hits by planes from Hiryu. The latter was, in turn, knocked out by U.S. carrier planes. Compelled by their losses to abandon their plans to capture Midway, the Japanese retired westward. The battle was a decisive win for the U.S, bringing an end to Japanese naval superiority in the Pacific. 4 Jun 1942: Battle of Midway - Part 2
Battle of Midway. After searching in vain for the Japanese fleet and on the point of returning to their carriers, the United States dive-bomber pilots saw the whole Japanese carrier strike force below. The combat air patrol which should have been above the carriers to protect them were at sea level destroying the American torpedo-bombers. The SBD Dauntless dive bombers attacked from 15,000 feet just at the moment when the carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu were enveloped in flames and destroyed. 5 Jun 1794 - 1st U.S. Navy officers appointed under Constitution

New Chief’s Mess Training Course Released
Release Date: 5/28/2013 1:23:00 PM
By Susan Henson, Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) has released the revised Chief's Mess Training (CMT) course, CPPD leadership said May 28.
The CMT course is year-round training with lessons that provide additional leadership topics for the Chief Petty Officer (CPO) mess. The course took six months to revise and was piloted in the Hampton Roads area in December.
Changes to the lessons were based on fleet feedback, according to Master Chief Ship's Serviceman Leon Hazley, CMT course manager at CPPD. After the revision was completed, CPPD conducted three course pilots to validate the curriculum, course material effectiveness and course length, he said.
"We're really proud of the new CMT course and feel it will be a great training tool for chief petty officers across the fleet," said CPPD Command Master Chief Ken Schmidt. "We have to continually improve our skills as leaders to be most effective as a CPO mess. CMT provides CPOs with the tools to lead with courage, respect and trust, as well as the tools to mentor our junior Sailors to become the next generation of strong Navy leaders."
The new CMT is a library of 22 current, relevant topics that include scenarios designed to facilitate deep discussion. Each session can be taught at any time and in any sequence throughout the year, according to Hazley. "The previous CMT consisted of 10 topics designed to be delivered every month from October to July each year," he said. "The new course provides flexibility to CPO messes to cover topics in a sequence that best fits a command's schedule."
The CMT course differs from the Chief Petty Officer Selectee Leadership Course (CPOSLC) in that CPOSLC is geared toward preparing chief petty officer selectees for their new roles as chiefs while CMT is designed to provide leadership sustainment training for chief petty officers through communication, teamwork and mentoring.
Hazley said the new course is designed to present the mess with an actual fleet-based scenario case study or directive to stimulate vigorous discussion among chiefs and is intended to enable the mess as a whole to learn from each other's experiences and develop the problem-solving skills chiefs must have to succeed. Topics include command unity, ethics, operational stress control, maintaining standards, mentoring, conflict resolution, character and integrity, professionalism, suicide awareness, bystander intervention, and prevention of sexual assault, sexual harassment and hazing. "Feedback from the course pilot was that CMT really hit the mark. Students said the topics were relevant, interesting and thought provoking. That's exactly what we want - to prompt fierce conversations in the mess to help us become better leaders and mentors."
Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 5351.2A governs CMT, which is required for all active duty and reserve chiefs, senior chiefs and master chiefs. The revised CMT course will be documentable in Fleet Training Management and Planning System (FLTMPS), Hazley said.
Commands can access the new course material by logging on to Navy Knowledge Online, selecting the Leadership tab, selecting Chief Petty Officer Selectee Leadership Course (CPOSLC) /CMT and following the instructions on the screen. Commands experiencing problems accessing the material should contact the course manager at CPPD for assistance.
CPPD is responsible for providing a wide range of personal and professional development courses and materials, including General Military Training, Navy instructor training, alcohol and drug awareness program training, suicide and sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, and personal responsibility classes. CPPD's required leadership training is delivered multiple times throughout a Sailor's career via command-delivered enlisted leadership training material and officer leadership courses in a schoolhouse setting. CPPD also administers the Navy's voluntary education program, which provides Sailors with the opportunity to earn college degrees. CPPD additionally manages the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), which offers Sailors the opportunity to earn civilian apprenticeship certifications.

Nominations Sought for Bob Feller Act of Valor Award
Release Date: 5/29/2013 12:56:00 PM
By By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jesse L. Dick, Navy Office of Community Outreach MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Nominations are currently being sought from the Navy's Chief Petty Officer community for the Inaugural Bob Feller Act of Valor award.
Established by the Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation, the prestigious award is named in honor of Major League Baseball pitcher, National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, and Navy veteran Bob Feller.
This unique award is intended to recognize a representative from three critical areas of Mr. Feller's life: his baseball career, his service as a Navy Chief Petty Officer, and his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. As such, the award will be presented to one Major League Baseball player, one Navy Chief Petty Officer, and one member of the Hall of Fame on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2013, at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.
"It is important to recognize Bob Feller's unselfish devotion to our nation and Navy," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens. "He made the personal choice to give up money and fame for the service of others and placed himself in harm's way with his shipmates during a time of war. The Chief Petty Officer selected for the Bob Feller Act of Valor Award will embody these same traits."
In recognition of Mr. Feller's significant accomplishment in attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer, nominees must be a Chief Petty Officer (E-7 only), active or reserve, must be outstanding military professionals, and must embody the Navy's core values of honor, courage, and commitment.
Mr. Feller enlisted in the Navy shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor while he was with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first American professional athlete to enlist. He served on the battleship USS ALABAMA (BB-60), and while doing so, the ship fought in both World War II theaters and earned eight battle stars. Mr. Feller was released from active duty achieving the rank of Chief Petty Officer, and is the only Chief Petty Officer in the Hall of Fame.
Nominations must be submitted to the Navy Office of Community Outreach by June 17. For more information on eligibility requirements and the selection process, see NAVADMIN 138/13.
