[5] Following the completion of this voyage, the ship returned to Norfolk, Virginia, in March 1944, before at the end of April 1944 departing from Charleston, South Carolina, with a cargo of explosives to Oran, in Algeria.

[6][5] During the summer of 1944, the ship was modified with number 4 and 5 holds converted to carry coiled pipe for the construction of a fuel pipeline under the English Channel as part of Operation PLUTO supporting the Normandy landings.

Departing in February 1945, the ship carried coal in a convoy from Hampton Roads in Virginia to Marseilles in France before returning the following month to Philadelphia.

[9] In June 1945, the ship transported coal to Marseilles in France before continuing on to Port de Bouc from where it carried 619 French and Moroccan troops to Oran in Algeria.

[4] Between 15 February 1947 and 9 October 1947 the ship was again assigned under a general agency agreement and bareboat charter to A.H. Bull before being again laid up in the Reserve Fleet.

On 13 December 1977, the US Navy took delivery of the Arthur M. Huddell, and after its propeller, lifeboats, and most of its equipment had been removed, the ship was reclassified as a barge in July 1978 to support cable operations for the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS).

As a result, there was no need to retain in the reserve the few remaining Liberty ships, which led to most being scrapped or scuttled with obsolete ammunition or to create dive and fishing reefs.

As a result, a number of Greek shipowners who had dollars in American banks bought Liberty ships, with many registering them in Honduras, Panama, and the United States.

[11] As a result of the efforts of US politicians of Greek heritage headed by Rhode Island Senator Leonidas Raptakis and Connecticut congressman Dimitrios Yiannaros approval was given for the gifting of the Arthur M. Huddell to Greece with legislation being passed by the US Congress to allow the transfer of ownership.

[11] The relative agreement was signed on between US Maritime Administrator Sean Connaughton and Greek Minister of Merchant Marine, Georgios Voulgarakis on 30 June 2008.

[15][16] In January 2009 Arthur M. Huddell was officially transferred to Greece after several years mitigating hazardous materials and negotiations and was renamed Hellas Liberty.

Other work was undertaken to restore the vessel, as near as possible, to being a sistership to the Greek Liberties of the post-war years, including changing the grey paint that had covered her hull and superstructure throughout her the service of the US Government to more commercial colours.
