Riouw represents an example of turning plowshares into swords, and then back again into plowshares. Riouw was a U.S.-built C3 cargo ship that was completed as an escort aircraft carrier during WW-II. After the war ended she was converted back into a cargo ship. See below (yes, this really is the same ship!):
