Well played John, Ulster MonarchUlster_Queen-03.jpgUlster_Queen-01-war.jpg THis is the Ulster Queen in Civi Life and also when the RN converted her.

Ulster Queen
(Belfast SS: 1930-1941)
*
Ulster Queen was running the Liverpool-Belfast service alone in 1940 when she ran aground of Maughold Head on the Isle of Man on 28th February. She was not refloated until 27th March whne she was taken to Belfast for repairs. She was then requisitioned by the Admiralty and converted into an auxiliary anti-aircraft cruiser. HMS Ulster Queen was substantially modified with the removal of her boat deck and one funnel. Armour plating was added to the hull sides and she had been armed with six 4.0in guns plus smaller AA weapons. The conversion was successful and she was purchased outright by the Admiralty. HMS Ulster Queen served with the Russian convoys, in the Mediterranean and in the Far East before being paid off on 1st April 1946. The modifications were too substantial to return her to passenger service, and she was sold for scrap.

I believe they were also the first ferries to be Motor Ships instead of Steam ships.
