RMS Medina (1911)
RMS ''Medina'' was an ocean liner built by Caird and Company, Greenock, Scotland, in 1911,〔 for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. She was a Royal Mail Ship intended for use on the London to Australia route〔 and was the last of the ten ships in P&O's M-Class.〔
==Design and building==
The ''RMS Medina'' was the last of ten ships ordered by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company of the ‘M’ class.〔 The order was placed with Caird and Company of Greenock, Scotland. She was 550 feet long and 62 feet wide with a depth of 34 feet. She was to carry 670 passengers, 450 in first class and 220 in second.〔 She was powered by quadruple-expansion steam engines which produced 1,400 horse power two her twin screws which moved through the water at a top speed of .〔
During building it was decided that ''Medina'' would take King George V and Queen Mary to India for the Delhi Durbar. ''Medina'' was, therefore, initially commissioned into the Royal Navy as the Royal Yacht and her crew were mainly naval personnel. ''Medina'' was provided with an extra mast, necessary to maintain Royal flag etiquette and furnished with a white hull with bands of royal blue and gold and buff funnels. Various large rooms intended for public use were redecorated as Royal apartments.
