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.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or service:
“So by all means let’s have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills. After all the public is entitled to what it wants, isn’t it? The Romans knew that and even they lasted four hundred years after they started to putrefy.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
—Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
