SS Armonia was a {{GRT|2,740}} cargo ship built in Britain in 1924 for the Moor Line as SS Tullochmoor. Scrapped in 1960, she had eight sets of owners, managers and names over her 26-year career. She is known today by her sixth name, Armonia, which she bore in April 1958 when a CIA aircraft involved in a covert mission against the Sukarno government bombed and damaged her in the Molucca Islands in eastern Indonesia. Service historyThe ship was launched by Blyth Shipbuilding & Drydock Co Ltd as Tullochmoor at Blyth, Northumberland and completed in October 1924.[1] She was owned by Moor Line and managed by Walter Runciman and Company.[1] In 1936 she was sold to Franz L Nimitz of Stettin, Germany, who renamed her Brigitte.[2] In May 1945 she was at Hamburg where she was seized as an Allied war prize.[2] The UK Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) took her over, named her Empire Soar and placed her under the management of Sir Robert Ropner & Co.[1] In 1946 she was sold to the Greek government, which renamed her Preveza.[2] In 1948 she was sold to Synodinos Brothers of Greece who renamed her Danapris.[2] In 1957 she was sold to A. Angelicoussis & Co of Greece who renamed her Armonia.[2] In 1959 she was sold to Keanyew Shipping Co who renamed her Keanyew and registered her in Panama.[2] In 1960 she was sold to Southern Commercial Co who renamed her Charlie.[2] Later in 1960 she was scrapped in Hong Kong.[2] Bombing{{location map|Indonesia|width=304|lat= -3.705 |long= 128.17 |relief= yes |caption= Ambon, Indonesia, where a CIA aircraft attacked Armonia in 1958 }} At the end of April{{sfn|Conboy|Morrison|1999|p=115}} or beginning of May{{sfn|Kahin|Kahin|1997|pp=173, 290}} 1958 Armonia was in Amboina Harbour in Indonesia.
