| Caption | One of the practically identical sister ships "Arundel Castle" and "Windsor Castle" of the Union Castle Line. Built according to pre-war plans, the ships entered service in 1921/1922 already obsolete. They were the last ships with four funnels! The "Arundel Castle" was built by Harland & Wolff, later modernized and not scrapped until 1958 in Hong Kong. The "Windsor Castle", built by John Brown and also somewhat modernized, fell victim to a torpedo attack on 23 March 1943. |

Die "Arundel Castle" wurde von Harland & Wolff gebaut, später modernisiert und erst 1958 in Hongkong abgebrohen.
