Kenya returned to active service in 1949 to replace London on the Far East Station. During the Korean War she bombarded Choda in preparation for a landing by 200 South Korean troops, but the troops never arrived. She also supported operations around Inchon. A later year-long Chatham refit brought new radar and standardized her light anti-aircraft battery on five twin Bofors mountings and eight single 40 mm guns. Further bombardment duties and another refit preceded plans to replace Superb on the West Indies Station.
