HMS Himalaya (1854)
HMS ''Himalaya'' was ordered by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company as SS ''Himalaya''. She was purchased by the Royal Navy in 1854 and served with them until 1920. She was sunk in 1940.
The SS ''Himalaya'' was a 3,438 gross register ton iron steam screw passenger ship. When launched she was the largest ship in the P & O fleet and was not exceeded in size until the SS ''Australia'' of 1870.
==Design and construction==
''Himalaya'' had been planned as a paddle steamer but that design was becoming outdated and she was altered to screw propulsion while she was still on the stocks, and she was fitted instead with a single two-bladed propeller of 18 feet diameter. She was also fitted with sails on three masts for use when the wind was favourable. She was laid down at the yards of C. J. Mare & Co., Leamouth, London in 1852 and launched on 24 May 1853. She could carry 200 first class passengers and required a crew of 213.〔(The life of Cornelius Cronin, who served aboard HMS Himalaya )〕
