There she was converted to a small seaplane tender and redesignated AVP-3 on 22 January 1936. The tender operated out of Seattle, Washington, with Aircraft Base Force through April 1937. She then proceeded to Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, in October, to tend planes attached to Patrol Wing (PatWing) 3.
