From Wikipedia The ship was built by the Fairfield Govan and launched on 23 December 1911 as Louvima, but in January 1912 renamed Hantonia. With her sister ship Normannia they were put on the service between Southampton and Le Havre. They were the first cross-channel steamers to be fitted with single-reduction geared Parsons' turbines, which gave the vessels a speed of over 20 knots but also cut down on the vibration experienced by cross-Channel passengers.[2] She was requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1914 and operated as a troopship during the First World War. She was acquired by the Southern Railway in 1923. In 1939 she was requisitioned by the Admiralty and transported troops between Folkestone and Calais until January 1940. She was then a Royal Navy accommodation ship until 1945.
