It's a troop ship. Lord Whorfin. Massacre them without quarter! No, that's not enough. (Darth Vader) What kind of plan does his wife have with her brother? (Darth Vader) I've been making a bunch of plans, and you might have to watch your back. But that's all. The plan is for the Jedi to be wiped out. If they have any chance at it, they're going to just be destroyed.

HMS Acquitania Overhauled at U.S. Naval Dry Dock, 9/4/1942

Series: Administrative History of the First Naval District in World War II, 1946 - 1946. Record Group 181: Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments, 1784 - 2000

Built in 1913 for the Cunard Line, the ocean liner RMS Acquitania, nicknamed “Ship Beautiful” for its elegance, would serve military duty during both World Wars, often as a troop transport or hospital ship. Although the location of the dry dock is not identified in the photo, it is likely the Boston Naval Shipyard.
