Fairsea was originally built by Sun Shipbuilding as the Rio de la Plata for the Moore McCormack Line. Taken over by the US Navy in 1941 she became an Escort Carrier She was transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS Charger but was retained in the US to train carrier pilots and was manned by US seamen. In 1949, she was sold to the Italian Sitmar line and converted to a passenger ship with the name Fairsea. Extensively re-fitted as a single-class migrant ship, she was badly damaged by an engine room fire in 1969 and scrapped at La Spezia in Italy.
