MV Carnarvon Castle
MV ''Carnarvon Castle'' was an ocean liner of the Union-Castle Line. She was briefly requisitioned for service as an auxiliary cruiser by the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
==Construction and early career==
''Carnarvon Castle'' was built by Harland and Wolff, Belfast and launched on 14 January 1926. She was completed on 26 June 1926〔 and entered service for the Union-Castle Line. She was named after Caernarfon Castle. She was the first of the Union-Castle mail ships to exceed 20,000 tons, and was the first motor ship to be used on the sailings between Britain and the Cape of Good Hope. She had two squat funnels, the forward-most of which was a dummy. She served on the route until 1936, when a revised contract to carry the mails required a speed of at least , which would result in a voyage to the Cape lasting no more than 13 and a half days. ''Carnarvon Castle'' required a refit and was reworked by her original builders between 1937 and 1938. Her engines were replaced, a single funnel replaced the original two, and her passenger capacity was altered. After undergoing seatrials on 26 June 1938, she returned to her original route on 8 July, setting a new record for the passage to the Cape of 12 days, 13 hours, 38 minutes. The record stood until 1954.
