One the pride of the Majesty Class the outbreak of the second world war shocked the world. Once again the British Admiralty was requisitioning ocean liners to transport troops and wounded in and out of the war zone in Europe and the Commonwealth. RMS Queen Victoria was pulled from service in 1940 and was converted into a hospital ship. In the summer of 1941 Yarrow Shipbuilding Co pumped out the new HMHS Queen Victoria ready for service making her one of the fastest hospital ships put to sea. One month later HMHS Queen Victoria made steam and sailed to North Africa to aid the wounded saving over 10,000 lives. Later in 1943 she was torpedoed sailing back from Sicily by a German U-Boat and would survive her encounter with death. After the war HMHS Queen Victoria was given back to the Red Star line and was later put back into service as an ocean line and would later be scrapped in 1950.
