In 1957 all of the Weapon-class Destroyers started conversions to radar pickets, which involved the removal of their torpedo tubes. Scorpion underwent her conversion at Devonport Dockyard . She was fitted with an extra mast to carry a large AKE-1 Antennae.
Such weapons were designed to fire at both capital ship targets and smaller targets, such as torpedo craft and destroyers. Small targets were of course vulnerable to 6-inch projectiles, and a high rate of fire was necessary to be able to hit a small and evasive target. In this era, secondary weapons were also expected to engage capital ships.

In 1957, the four Weapon-class destroyers were selected for conversion to Radar pickets with Battleaxe being converted at Rosyth Dockyard. [6] The ship's torpedo tubes were removed to allow the fitting of an additional lattice mast carrying a Type 965 long-range air-search radar, with deckhouses built to house the radar equipment and operators.
Battleaxe was one of 19 Weapon-class destroyers ordered as part of the Royal Navy's 1943 War Programme. The Weapons were intended to be built in shipyards where the larger Battle class could not be built, but still mounting the heavy anti-aircraft armament and modern fire-control which war experience had shown to be necessary.
