CANBERRA (P&O Orient Line)

Built by Harland & Wolff, she entered service on The Southampton - Australia service in 1961, later changing to a "Round - the - world" route. She was converted to a one-class cruise ship in 1974. Requisitioned in 1982 as a troopship for the Falklands conflict, she returned to service with great popularity. Withdrawn in 1997 she was broken up in Pakistan.
