HMT Ranginaki

this was originaly made by NBA YUNG LOOZ and here is some info of my made up story HMT Ranginaki – "The Ghost of Two Wars"
Converted Troop Carrier / War Legend / Survivor of Shadows

“You don’t see her coming. You only hear the low hum… and then the sea lights up.”

Originally built as a luxurious passenger liner, Ranginaki was converted into a powerful troopship during the First World War. But this wasn’t just another transport vessel—she became a nightmare on the water. Reinforced, rearmed, and repainted in darkness, Ranginaki earned a reputation as the ship you never saw coming… until it was too late.

Heavy modifications include:

16-inch/50 caliber stern gun

Reinforced, sharpened bow—capable of splitting enemy ships in two

Battle damage left visible as a warning, not a weakness

Deep-toned foghorns and red deck lights for stealth and intimidation

Searchlights and low visibility settings to ambush in fog

Muzzle brakes on heavy artillery for recoil control

War-worn yet still grand—Captain’s cabin and staircase maintain 1st-class luxury

Max speed: 20-25 knots

Her official number is C.O 11—but among enemy sailors, she was whispered about like a ghost ship. Some claim she once sunk a vessel rivaling the Bismarck. Others say she was everywhere and nowhere.

Now retired from war, her post-1945 version is being restored to peaceful luxury—but the legend of her wartime shadow remains.
