In 1977 the vessel entered in a 2 year MLU, which was ended in November 1978. Two stern turrets were disposed, instead the destroyer got a BPDMS and an helipad with hangar. In the mid 1960, the fixed TT were also disposed. Instead, two double ASW were placed in each band. More important, the destroyer offensive power was greatly increased with a battery of 8 Harpoons. And the defense against incoming missiles was improved with 2 Vulcan Phallanx and Corvus dispensers of chaff in addition of the Sea Sparrow missiles. Almost all the sensors were changed: The director was changed with a WM-22 egg, the air search radar was a brand new LW-08, the surface search radar was also changed for a ZW-06, a Stir 180 fire control radar was placed over the roof of the hangar, finally a dual set of 170 and 177 sonars were fitted.
