There's a WWII oiler that, several decades after the war, had its bow removed and used in the construction of a Maersk container ship. It was still operating when I last heard.

Also, when I visited Canada about 10 years ago I noticed a converted T-2 tanker operating as a bulk carrier on the Lakes. Unfortunately I couldn't read the name.
