SS ''Slamat'' (or "DSS ''Slamat''", with DSS standing for ''dubbelschroefstoomschip'', "twin-screw steamship") was a Dutch ocean liner of the Rotterdam-based Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd line. Although she was a turbine steamship, she tended not to be referred to as "TSS". She was built in Vlissingen in the Netherlands in 1924 for liner service between Rotterdam and the Dutch East Indies. In 1940 she was converted into a troop ship. In 1941 she was sunk with great loss of life in the Battle of Greece. ==Building and peacetime service== Koninklijke Maatschappij De Schelde built ''Slamat'' in Vlissingen on the River Scheldt, completing her in 1924. Her boilers had oil-burning furnaces, and her engines were steam turbines that drove her twin screws ''via'' double reduction gearing. She was equipped with submarine signalling apparatus, which in the 1920s was seen as an alternative to radio. She also had wireless direction finding equipment. ''Slamat'' was built for Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd (KRL or "Royal Dutch Lloyd") and managed by Willem Ruys en Zonen.〔 Willem Ruys ran KRL and the two companies were part of the same group. KRL ships operated passenger and cargo services between Rotterdam and the Dutch East Indies ''via'' Southampton, Marseille and the Suez Canal.〔 ''Slamat'' was KRL's last major steam turbine passenger liner before it started introducing motor ships: ''Indrapoera'' in 1925, ''Sibajak'' in 1927 and the larger and swifter ''Baloeran'' and ''Dempo'' in 1929.〔 In 1931 ''Slamat'' was refitted and lengthened by , which slightly increased each of her tonnages. Her speed was increased to . In peacetime ''Slamat'' carried KRL's livery of dove-grey hull, white superstructure and black funnels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Slamat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
