USS Aquila (AK-47)
USS Aquila (AK-47) was an ''Aquila''-class cargo ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II. She was responsible for delivering general cargo and equipment to ships and stations in the war zone.
''MV Tunis'' was built in 1936 at Copenhagen, Denmark, by the Helsinger Shipbuilding Co.; acquired by the Navy from the Maritime Commission on 11 August 1941; renamed ''Aquila'' (AK-47) on 3 September 1941; converted for naval service by the Sullivan Drydock and Repair Corporation; and commissioned on 24 October 1941, Lt. Comdr. Samuel S. Fried in command.
== World War II North Atlantic operations ==
''Aquila'' almost immediately began a series of convoy runs from New York and Boston, Massachusetts, to Reykjavík, Iceland. Between 1 December 1941 and 10 October 1942, the cargo ship made five round-trip voyages. On 7 November 1942, she arrived at Norfolk, Virginia, to begin operations with the Naval Transportation Service.
The ship's new assignment involved shuttling supplies and personnel between ports in the Eastern, Panama, Gulf, and Caribbean Sea Frontiers.
