TEV Rangatira (1971)
TEV ''Rangatira'' was a roll-on/roll-off vehicle and passenger ferry launched in 1971 for the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand.〔 She is significant for having been the World's last surviving ship with steam-powered turbo-electric transmission.〔 (Modern turbo-electric ships, including and s such as ''Celebrity Millennium'', have gas turbines.)
''Rangatira'' had a varied existence, including six years 1977–83 as an accommodation ship and barracks ship. The Union Company sold her in 1986 and she returned to being a ferry. From 1986 onwards she passed through a succession of owners who renamed her three times and registered her under three different flags of convenience: as ''Queen M'' in 1986,〔〔 ''Carlo R'' in 1990〔〔 and ''Alexander the Great'' in 2001.〔〔
After a failed attempt to convert the vessel into a cruise ship〔 she was scrapped in 2005.〔

''Rangatira'' is Māori for "chief (male or female), wellborn, noble". The 1971 ship is at least the sixth to carry the name. The first ''Rangatira'' was in service between Great Britain and New Zealand by 1857. The second was an iron-hulled steamship built in 1863 and wrecked in 1880.〔 The third was a Shaw Savill Line steamship built in 1890 and sold and renamed in 1909. The fourth was a Shaw Savill Line steamship built in 1909 and wrecked in 1916. The fifth was the Union Company ferry , a turbo-electric ship that was in service from 1931 to 1967.〔〔
