Service history

Destiny was laid down on 10 April 1942 at Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan, as BAT-9, launched 1 July 1942 and commissioned into the Royal Navy under Lend-Lease on 30 July 1942. She served through World War II and was returned to the United States Navy in Subic Bay on 13 June 1946 and struck on 8 May 1946. On 6 January 1948, she was sold to Moller on 6 January 1948 and renamed Frosty Moller. In 1950, she was renamed Christine Moller and sold in 1951 to a Dutch owner and renamed Oceanus. In 1953, she was again sold and renamed Gee Zee. After a decade, she was resold to Greek owners and renamed Atlas. Renamed Atlas II in 1976, her final disposition is unknown.[1]

gollark: Are syscall numbers scarce somehow?
gollark: I don't see the value in packing multiple different things into one syscall because the arguments happen to be the same when the kernel will have to check and dispatch to different things *anyway*, and user code also has to use a specific known form anyway.
gollark: Realer programmers make everything based on CHANNELS.- Rob Pike
gollark: yes.
gollark: Same raw arguments maybe, different *behavior*.
