Clearing Race Rocks Light and arriving at Osaka, Japan in 5 days 23 hours and 30 minutes at an average speed of 30.32 knots, she claimed the Westbound record, only to reload and head back East in August.
Clearing Yokohama, Japan and arriving at Long Beach, California 6 days 1hr 27 mins later at an average speed of 33.27 knots, the ship claimed the still-undisputed records for [Pacific Ocean] crossings.[3].
Due to her high operating cost, she was sold to the United States Navy on 27 October 1981 as USNS Regulus (T-AK-292).
[6][7] In 2014 the vessel and her sister SS Pollux were relocated to the United States Maritime Administration Beaumont Reserve Fleet where they remain in ROS-120 status.
