The second Golden Bear, serving in 1971–95, has a sky-blue funnel with two gold bands and a gold bear. The starboard photograph shows the bear walking forward; a mirrored portside arrangement is assumed but unconfirmed. The design resembles Pacific Far East Line’s apart from its darker blue, but Rosanoski presumes no connection because the periods overlap.

Golden Bear III, identified in the source as formerly USS Maury, apparently first lost the yellow part of Maury’s blue-over-yellow funnel and gained a forward-walking gold bear, C1248. The later C1249 funnel is dark blue with one gold band and a forward-facing gold bear on both sides. The change date is unknown but the later version was present by 25 July 2005; a starboard Sydney photograph is dated 7 June 2011.
