The ABBAY WONZ was launched as MENGISTU H.M.
I recall from somewhere he was the President (or whatever) of Ethiopia who fell out of favour while the ship was fitting out!

Mengistu Haile Mariam see:

Thanks, duly updated on the Sunderland site!
Fine ships but at 30 plus already, surprised she has lasted so long and under same flag.
