Commercial Service
Reverting to her original name, Afoundria soon thereafter, the ship was acquired by the Waterman Steamship Corporation, of Mobile, Alabama, and renamed Beauregard in about 1947. She operated with the Waterman firm into the late 1950s. The erstwhile attack transport retained the name Beauregard as she operated into the 1970s with a succession of firms: with the Wilmington, Delaware-based Beauregard, Inc.; the Litton Industries Leasing Corporation, and the Reynolds Leasing Corporation — operating with the last two corporations as a container ship.
Beauregard was scrapped at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in May 1977.
