Fleet tender
text:
Fleet tenders were British merchant ships fitted with a wooden superstructure to resemble battleships or aircraft carriers during the Second World War. They were built to fool German reconnaissance planes, and known as fleet tenders to conceal their purpose. Three ships were converted in 1939 and another, HMS Centurion, in 1941. The three converted in 1939 were 7,900-tons merchant ships: SS Pakeha, fleet tender A, as battleship HMS Revenge
SS Waimana, fleet tender B, as battleship HMS Resolution
