Model-atmosphere analyses of the atmospheres of two 'subgiant CH stars,' HD 176021 and HD 20413 are presented. These stars are found to possess small, but definite, iron-peak-element deficiencies, substantial overabundances of the s-process elements and large, nearly solar, surface gravities. An excess scandium abundance is attributed to weak s-process irradiation on some of the lighter elements in the stellar material. Overabundances of carbon but normal abundances of nitrogen are derived through spectrum synthesis. The derived log g values lead to absolute magnitudes near Mv = +4. HD 176021 and HD 204613 are interpreted as highly evolved Population II stars that have recently returned to the vicinity of the main sequence as a consequence of extensive internal mixing.
