On her maiden voyage carrying Lend Lease supplies to Karachi, the Graham narrowly evaded a wolf pack of German submarines off Cape Town in October 1942. The ship had a second close encounter with the enemy in June 1944, when German bombers attacked the harbor at Anzio where the Graham lay at anchor with six other merchantmen.
