Pretoria Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several ships have been named the Pretoria Castle:
- The first Pretoria Castle was originally an ocean liner, but converted in World War II to an armed merchant cruiser and then to an escort aircraft carrier, serving in the Royal Navy as the HMS Pretoria Castle. Later she was renamed the Warwick Castle and returned to passenger service.
- A second Pretoria Castle was also an ocean liner, launched in 1948. In 1966 she was renamed the S.A. Oranje. She was scrapped in 1975.
