At the start of World War II, ''Duntroon'' was requisitioned for conversion into an armed merchant cruiser, but was returned as unsuitable. In November 1940, ''Duntroon'' collided with and sank the auxiliary minesweeper ; the RAN's first loss of the war. In February 1942, ''Duntroon'' was requisitioned by the Australian Army for use as a troopship. The ship was involved in a second fatal collision in November 1943, sinking the destroyer . Her army service continued until 1946, when she was chartered by the RAN for transport duties with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force. ''Duntroon'' was returned to her civilian owners in 1950. In 1961, the ship was sold to Kie Hock Shipping Co. and renamed ''Tong Hoo''. She was sold again in 1966 to Africa Shipping Co. and renamed ''Lydia''. The ship was laid up in Singapore in 1967, and sailed to Taiwan for scrapping in 1973. ==Construction== The 10,346 ton vessel was built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson, Wallsend-on-Tyne, in 1935 for the Melbourne Steamship Company of Australia.
