Finally, in 1981, she put to sea under the name the Sea Wise Giant. During the Iran-Iraq war, T.T. Jahre Viking was hit by the Iraqis on 14 May 1988 while transiting the Hormuz Straits. She was declared a total constructive loss and laid up in Brunei Bay. At the end of the war, she was bought by a Norwegian company, re-floated, and towed to the Keppel shipyard in Singapore. After major repairs, in October 1991, she was sailing again, under her new name "Happy Giant".
Later she was sold to Jorden Jahre for the sum of $39 Million. It was at this stage that the ship was renamed Jahre Viking.
