<HTML>Hi Javier
Titanic and the WWII trooper Britannic were not related in any way. Britannic was built for Cunard in 1930 by Harland & Wolff (the same yard which had built Titanic - that's the only thing they had in common): 26.943 tgr, 216.94 x 25.12 x 10.0 metres, speed 18 kn. On 29/8/39 she was requisitioned as troopship, commissioned in the RFA 9/39, designated as repatriation ship 1946 & returned to owners in March 1947.
