English: USS Santee at Queenstown, Ireland. Painted in "dazzle" camouflage, circa late 1917 or early 1918. Formerly SS Arvonian (British Freighter, 1905), this ship became HMS Bendish in mid-1917. She was loaned to the US Navy and placed in commission in late November 1917. Soon renamed Santee and employed as a "decoy ship" (or "Q-ship") for anti-submarine patrols, she was torpedoed on 27 December 1917. After repairs she was returned to the Royal Navy and again named Bendish. The freighter resumed her commercial career after World War I and during the next four decades bore the names Arvonian, Brookvale, Spidola and Rudau. She was broken up in 1958.
