| dbo:abstract | - Die HMCS Prince Robert war ein kanadischer Hilfskreuzer, der zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges aus einem kleinen Passagierschiff für den Dienst an der kanadischen Pazifikküste entstanden war. Das Schiff war dort zwischen 1930 und dem Kriegsbeginn im Einsatz gewesen. Nach Sicherungsaufgaben im Pazifik wurde das Schiff im späteren Kriegsverlauf zu einem Flugabwehrkreuzer umgerüstet.Letzter Einsatz der Prince Robert war die erneute Inbesitznahme von Hongkong und die Repatriierung einiger kanadischer Kriegsgefangener. 1946 wurde das desarmierte Schiff an eine Reederei in London verkauft, die es als Charlton Sovereign vorrangig im Passagierdienst nach Australien einsetzte. 1952 erfolgte ein Weiterverkauf nach Italien, wo ein größerer Umbau des Schiffes erfolgte. Als Lucania wurde das Passagierschiff nun nach Westindien und Südamerika eingesetzt, bis es 1962 zum Abbruch verkauft wurde. (de)
- HMCS Prince Robert was the first of three refrigerated passenger and cargo ships constructed at Birkenhead for Canadian National for operation along the British Columbia Coast during the 1930s. The ship's arrival during the Great Depression led to the vessel's financial failure and by 1935, the ship was in limited use. With the onset of World War II, the Royal Canadian Navy acquired the vessel for use as an armed merchant cruiser for protection of western coast of Canada. Upon completion, Prince Robert and her sister ships were the most powerful ships operated by the Canadians until the arrival of larger cruisers later in the war. Converted at Esquimalt, British Columbia and commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in September 1941, Prince Robert saw its first action along the Mexican coast, capturing the German freighter Weser later that month. Prince Robert then continued patrolling along the Pacific coast of North America, then being sent to Australia to escort troop convoys across the Pacific. Following the entry of the United States into the war in 1941, Prince Robert took part in the naval operations in Alaska alongside its sister ships Prince Henry and Prince David. As the threat along the Pacific coast of Canada diminished, a new role for Prince Robert and it was converted to an anti-aircraft cruiser in 1943. Prince Robert returned to service later that year and escorted convoys in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea between the United Kingdom and Naples, Italy, defending them against air attack. In 1944, the ship was transferred to the Pacific once again and was at Sydney, Australia when Japan surrendered. Prince Robert was ordered to Hong Kong to repatriate Canadian prisoners of war and to assist in control of the island. The ship returned to Canada on 20 October 1945 and was paid off on 10 December and transferred to for disposal. The ship was sold to private buyers who returned the vessel to the cargo/passenger trade as Charlton Sovereign in 1948. Charlton Sovereign transported displaced persons and refugees from Europe to locations in Central and South America. In 1951, the ship was sold again and renamed Lucania. Lucania was used a passenger ship between Italy and Venezuela until 1962, when the vessel was sold for scrap. (en)
