Newfoundland's Pacific operations and postwar reconstruction

Newfoundland supported the Australian Sixth Division during the Aitape campaign and took part in Operation Inmate against Truk. She later bombarded Kamaishi and joined the force taking control of the naval base at Yokosuka. Present in Tokyo Bay for the surrender, she subsequently repatriated British Empire prisoners of war. Her initial postwar duties included service with the stokers' training establishment at HMS Imperieuse. A 20-month reconstruction began at Plymouth in 1951, with its extent judged comparable to Belfast's modernization despite differing assessments. She recommissioned in November 1952.
