|Ship beam=27 feet (8 m) along the Atlantic shelf in conjunction with Columbia University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution occupied her until October 1947 when she entered the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for a Greater Underwater Propulsive Power Program (GUPPY) conversion. Over the next seven months, Tusk received extensive modifications to improve her submerged performance characteristics. Four "greater capacity" batteries replaced her old larger ones. Her hull became more streamlined—the anchors were recessed into the hull and the propeller guards were removed—to improve her overall hydrodynamic design for underwater operations. Her sail was streamlined and enlarged to house the snorkel, a device added to allow her to operate on diesel power at periscope depth and to recharge her batteries while running submerged. All of these changes helped to convert Tusk from simply a submersible surface ship into a truer submarine. They increased her submerged range; and, though she lost about two knots in surface speed, her submerged speed increased from just under to about
The newly converted submarine returned to active duty early in the summer of 1948. She conducted her shakedown training and made a simulated war patrol to the Panama Canal Zone in June and July. She returned to the United States in August and visited the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, where her presence allowed about 1000 fourth classmen to see at firsthand the latest development in submarine design. That fall and winter, Tusk resumed normal operations, participating in exercises with other United States and NATO forces. She ranged from the Caribbean Sea in the south to above the Arctic Circle in the north. The beginning of 1949 brought a more restricted radius of operations. During the first six months of that year, she served with Submarine Development Group 2 based at Newport, Rhode Island. In July, Tusk rejoined the multinational forces of NATO for another round of exercises in the North Atlantic. During these exercises, she visited Derry, Northern Ireland, and Portsmouth, England.

Находилась на глубине, вдоль атлантического шельфа, где совместно с Колумбийским университетом и Океанографическим институтом Вудс-Хоул она выполняла работы до октября 1947 года, когда вошла в состав Портсмутской военно-морской верфи для проведения программы «Более мощная подводная двигательная установка» (GUPPY). В течение следующих семи месяцев подводная лодка «Таск» подверглась обширным модификациям для улучшения ее характеристик подводного плавания. Четыре аккумулятора «повышенной емкости» заменили старые, более крупные. Корпус был упрощен – якоря были утоплены в корпус, а ограждения винтов удалены – для улучшения общей гидродинамической конструкции при подводных операциях. Надстройка была упрощена и увеличена для размещения шноркеля, устройства, добавленного для обеспечения работы на дизельном топливе на перископической глубине и зарядки аккумуляторов во время подводного хода. Все эти изменения помогли превратить «Таск» из просто подводного надводного корабля в настоящую подводную лодку. Они увеличили ее подводную дальность; и, хотя она потеряла около двух узлов скорости на поверхности, ее подводная скорость увеличилась с чуть менее чем до около.

Вновь модернизированная подводная лодка вернулась к активной службе в начале лета 1948 года. Она прошла обкатку и провела имитационный военный патруль в зоне Панамского канала в июне и июле. В августе она вернулась в Соединенные Штаты и посетила Военно-морскую академию США в Аннаполисе, штат Мэриленд, где ее присутствие позволило около 1000 курсантов первого курса увидеть из первых рук последние достижения в области проектирования подводных лодок. Осенью и зимой того же года «Таск» возобновила обычные операции, участвуя в учениях с другими силами США и НАТО. Она действовала от Карибского моря на юге до Северного полярного круга на севере. Начало 1949 года ознаменовалось более ограниченным радиусом операций. В течение первых шести месяцев этого года она служила в составе 2-й группы разработки подводных лодок, базирующейся в Ньюпорте, штат Род-Айленд. В июле «Таск» вновь присоединилась к многонациональным силам НАТО для очередного раунда учений в Северной Атлантике. Во время этих учений она посетила Дерри, Северная Ирландия, и Портсмут, Англия.

Потеря Кохино
На заключительном этапе этих учений "Таск" действовал в составе группы, в которую также входила подводная лодка "Кокино". 25 августа, находясь в штормовом море у побережья Норвегии, на "Кокино" произошел взрыв в одной из батарей. "Таск" немедленно пришел на помощь поврежденной подводной лодке, предоставив медицинские принадлежности для раненых с помощью спасательных плотов. Один из таких плотов перевернулся в сильном волнении, смыв офицера "Кокино" и гражданского сотрудника Бюро кораблей в ледяное Арктическое море. Оба были спасены, но во время проведения искусственного дыхания на борту "Таска", другая волна обрушилась на палубу, унеся с собой гражданского и 11 членов экипажа "Таска". Впоследствии удалось спасти только четырех моряков. После этих трагических событий "Таск" и поврежденный "Кокино" направились в Хаммерфест, Норвегия. По пути произошел еще один взрыв в кормовой батарее "Кокино". Второй взрыв окончательно решил судьбу "Кокино". Вода хлынула через пробитый корпус. "Таск" подошел в штормовых условиях и пришвартовался к тонущей подводной лодке. В самых тяжелых условиях "Таск" безопасно эвакуировал весь экипаж "Кокино". Через несколько минут "Кокино" затонул, а "Таск" направился в Хаммерфест.
