Re: Tankers that had a short service life
I know they built another British Hawthorn 2003. Built is Japan by Tsuneishi ship builders Numakuma Japan. They kept her until 2013 when she became the Afra Hawthorn. She was an Afro max tanker.
Built: 2003 57,567 GRT 106,500 DWT 240.5m x 42m x 14.9m
Flag: Isle of Man
Owner: Antonios Shipping, UK
Manager: BP Shipping Ltd, UK
A bit bigger than the 1964 ship.

I don't think she was popular among the engineers she had reputation down below, a right workup to keep her going, there wasa class of them built and all gone within 10 years.
She traded a lot down to Australia.
