Before coming to Alaska, the Chandeleur underwent a significant modernization and maintenance period at the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Md, which included the replacement of hull plating, tanks, piping, and electrical wiring; renewal of decks; rehabilitation of berthing spaces, and installation of new prototype equipment such as switchboards and generator sets.
