Post-war Decommissioning
She was decommissioned at Seattle, Washington, 19 July 1946, and returned to the Maritime Commission 3 days later. The ship was sold to a Swedish firm and reflagged as MV Sommen in 1947. In 1963, it was reflagged again as the Greek ship MV Donald, and disappeared later in the year, with 27 people and a 5,000 ton cargo of iron bound for Indonesia. The ship had last been heard from on August 25, 1963, when the captain sent word that the ship had encountered rough seas in the Indian Ocean.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
