RMS Newport is a fictional transatlantic liner built by the British-American Atlantic Line in 1908-1911.
The liner was laid down at the John Brown shipyard & The company was founded in Clydebank, Scotland in 1908 and launched on May 21, 1910. For several months, the liner was the largest in the world until the launch of the RMS Olympic in October 1910.
It was commissioned in February 1911 and served the transatlantic route Liverpool - Queenstown - New York until the outbreak of the First World War. With the outbreak of war, the liner was idle for some time in the home port, in 1915 the liner was requisitioned by the British government as a hospital ship, serving until 1918.
In 1919, the liner made the first post-war flight on the old route, which continued to run until 1927, when it was sent for modernization and overhaul. Already in 1928, the updated liner entered service on the new Liverpool - Cherbourg - New York route, on which it plied until the outbreak of World War II.
During the Second World War, the liner was used as an auxiliary cruiser of the Royal Navy in the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean. In 1946, the liner was returned to the British-American Atlantic Line. In 1947-1948 he plied the route Southampton - Le Havre - Porto - Naples as a cruise ship. However, after 37 years of service, the technical condition and obsolescence of the vessel, coupled with low demand, forced the British-American Atlantic Line to sell the liner for scrap in 1948. RMS Newport was completely scrapped in 1949 in Glasgow, Scotland.
