		''Bonaventure'' - named after Bonaventure Island, a bird sanctuary in the Gulf of St. Lawrence - was commissioned into the Canadian Navy on January 17, 1957, upon completion of its refit and modernization.

		Despite this, and because of the hard work and dedication of her crew, the Bonaventure was able by 1958 to conduct around the clock (SUSTOP) operations, keeping four Trackers and two HO4S's in the air at all times, saturating an area of 200 square miles (518 km²) with ASW aircraft.
