MAJESTIC IS nnuunrnn NAVAL gnvu

Renamed H. M. S. Caledonia As Train- ing Ship For British Youths.

BY EDWIN JOHNSON Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, April 'I——Once proud queen of the ocean steamship lanes, the old Vlfhlte Star liner “Majc§tic" has escaped the ship- yard wrecker and henceforth will serve as an auxiliary unit of His Majesty's Navy.

A ﬂoating palace of her day, the Majestic was withdrawn from reg- ular trans-Atlantic service some time ago and consigned to the scrap heap. This plan was halted, however, and the ship drafted for special service.

The liner was completely over- hauled. altered and re-fitted and ‘will launch upon its new career re-‘named “HMS. Caledonia." and serve as a training establishment for boy-seamen and artificer ap- prentices. ‘ _

The Caledonia has been con- verted to house 2,000 north coun- try boys until the big shoretrain- ing school at Rcsyth is ready. This will take three years to build and as a boy‘s training only lasts a year, the ship will be the gateway

into the navy for about 6,000 youngsters before 1040. Almost the only parts of the

ship that have not. beenyaltered are the engineroom and the Pom- peian pool. The former social hall and French restaurant on "A" deck have been turned into a vast gymnasium and recreation room, Cabins on "B" and “C" dccka have been reconstructed into big classrooms while cabins on "D" and decks have been torn down to make way for sleeping hammocks.

If a cadet. falls ill, there is tho largest sick bay in any ship in the wcr'cl. It is equipped to take care of 240 patients simultaneously and nearby ore dental parlors with the most modern equipment.

For the instruction of the boys, guns have been mounted aft on what itsed to be the third class promenade dcck. -The mast has been ﬁtted for instruction in climbing and the wireless cabin enlarged, for up to 200 boys will be attending signalling closes daily. ‘

It is expected the first batch of boys will join the Caledonia about. the cnd of April.
