	RMS Aquitania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		As time went on the Aquitania got old and was scheduled to be replaced by the Queen Elizabeth in 1940.
		This plan was shattered with the coming of World War II and Aquitania served excellently as a troop transport, just as she had in World War I.

		On her completion RMS Aquitania was dubbed the "Ship Beautiful" a reflection of both her perfectly balanced exterior lines and the elegance of her interior which included such features as the two deck high columned Palladian Lounge and the equally sumptuous Jacobean Smoking Room that was modelled on the Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
		RMS Aquitania only made a few Atlantic crossings before the outbreak of the First World War when she and her "sisters" were called for military duty as Armed Merchant Cruisers.
		RMS Aquitania underwent an extensive refit at John Brown and Company between December 1919 and July 1920 during which time her interior was completely re-furbished and her propulsion systems were converted from coal burning to oil.

		Aquitania, Berengaria and Olympic all made crossings in the region of twenty-two to twenty-three knots, although Olympic has to have been considered slower owing to her higher number of passages at twenty-one knots.
		Aquitania had started showing her age early, at the age of ten, but these were largely minor problems for the first part.

		he introduction of the RMS Aquitania in 1914 by the Cunard Line was as much a response to new builds from rival companies as it was to maintaining a weekly express service to New York.
		The Aquitania would be a suitable running mate to the Lusitania and Mauretania that would allow for a weekly service to New York, and her interior appointments would compare with those of the competing new builds.
		Design elements of the Aquitania followed closely with those of the Lusitania and Mauretania — she had a long slender hull with four equally spaced funnels, all of which were functional — but she was a larger ship with a wider beam.

		The RMS Oceanic(II) was a luxury ocean going liner similar to the RMS Aquitania, the RMS Lusitania, the RMS Britannic, the RMS Mauritania, and the RMS Titanic, but was considered to be in a class of its own.
		Oceanic had two funnels, the keel was laid in 1897, and the ship was built under the supervision of its designer, Thomas Ismay, the shipwright and owner of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, the precursor to the famous White Star Line.
		An Aberdeen trawler, the Glenogil, was the first on the scene, and although she attempted to pull off the massive ship, it proved an impossible task, and with the hull already ruptured, Oceanic would not have stayed afloat long in open waters.
