HMS Perth was a steamship that was built in Scotland in 1915, renamed Lafonia in 1946 and Valfiorita in 1950, and scrapped in Italy in 1962. She was designed as a coastal passenger and cargo liner, but was completed in the First World War as an armed boarding steamer for the Royal Navy. In the Second World War she was converted into an ocean boarding vessel, and served also as a convoy rescue ship. The ship did see merchant service: with the Dundee, Perth & London Shipping Company Ltd in the 1920s and 1930s, the Falkland Islands Company in the late 1950s, and with successive Italian from 1950 until she was scrapped in Italy in 1962. The Dundee, Perth & London Shipping Co Ltd was founded in 1826. In its long history it had six ships called Perth, named after the city of Perth in Perthshire. The ship built in 1915 was the fifth of these. She is the only Royal Navy ship ever to have been called Perth. (en) |
