I was looking through Stefan Terzibaschitsch's book Aircraft Carriers of
the US Navy and I see that CV-17 Bunker Hill was withdrawn from service
in 1947 and essentially stayed in mothballs until 1966. She was used as
an immobile electronics research ship during that time.

Does anybody know why she was withdrawn from service in 1947?
