Queen Elizabeth

Luxury ocean liner built for the Cunard Line New York service which was immediately converted to a troop carrier for service in World War II. After the war it returned to ocean cruising before competition from air travel in the 1960s made this unviable. It was eventually destroyed by fire off Hong Kong in 1975.
