The ship was built by the Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard of Baltimore in 1940 as SS Delargentino for the United States Maritime Commission on behalf of the Mississippi Shipping Company in 1940. The ship was delivered to Mississippi Shipping in November 1940. Delargentino was requisitioned by the United States Navy as a transport in 1943 and would have been named USS J. W. McAndrew (AP-47), but was instead delivered to the U.S. Army. While serving as a U.S. Army transport ship in 1945, she collided with French aircraft carrier Béarn with the loss of several lives. Afterward, the ship was repaired and sold to the Farrell Lines for commercial use under the name SS African Enterprise. The ship was broken up in Baltimore in February 1972.
