USS Ariel (AF-22)
USS ''Ariel'' (AF-22) was built as SS ''Peten'', later renamed ''Jamaica'', as United Fruit Company cargo and passenger liner that served as a United States Navy in World War II. The US Navy renamed her after the "airy and playful spirit" Ariel in William Shakespeare's play ''The Tempest''. The ship was returned to United Fruit in 1946 and operated for that company until sold to a German company in 1957.
==Building and pre-war service==
The Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Newport News, Virginia built the ship as SS ''Peten'' for United Fruit Company's United Mail Steamship Co subsidiary. ''Peten'' was one of six UFC sister ships with General Electric turbo-electric transmission, the others being and from Newport News Shipbuilding and , and from Bethlehem Shipbuilding's Quincy, Massachusetts, plant, built under the Merchant Marine Act of 1928. The prospective name for the ship had been ''Segovia'', hull #345, but that hull had been burned at the outfitting pier as it neared completion in 1931 and was rebuilt as hull #354 with the new name of ''Peten''. ''Peten's'' keel was laid 9 March 1931 with launch on 15 August 1931 and delivery on 24 February 1933. On 2 March 1933 ''Peten'' made her maiden voyage from New York to Caribbean ports. In 1937 she was transferred to United Fruit's direct ownership and renamed ''Jamaica''. The ship's peacetime service was in carrying fruit, passengers and mail on regular liner services between Central America and the USA.
