- MS Tunis was a Danish motor ship in commercial service for Det Forenede Dampskibs Selskab (DFDS), Copenhagen, Denmark, as a cargo ship delivered to DFDS on 15 January 1936. Tunis was the first of four sister ships, two built in 1936 and two in 1938, that operated for DFDS. The ship's normal service was Copenhagen to the Mediterranean until war in Europe when all four of the ships were put into Atlantic service. The United States seized Danish vessels in its ports in 1941 after Germany occupied Denmark on 9 April 1940. Tunis was seized in New York and delivered by the War Shipping Administration to the U.S. Navy under bareboat charter and commissioned USS Aquila (AK-47) for service in World War II. Aquila operated in the North Atlantic delivering general cargo and equipment to ships and stations in the war zone. After Danish ships were returned to Denmark the ship resumed service from June 1946 to April 1966, largely on its prewar route of Denmark and the Mediterranean, but including some periods of service to Britain. In April 1966 Tunis was sold to Eletson Maritime Corp., Piraeus, Greece then registered in Greece as Maria T. The ship was sold in 1972 to Rigas Bros. & Dinos Mitropoulis, Piraeus and renamed Mathios operating until 1978. The ship was scrapped in 1978. (en)
