  • This article is primarily about the third ship to bear this name, however there were two previous ships : SS Nevasa (1884 to 1909) and HMT/HMHS Nevasa (1913 to 1948). All three ships were operated by the British India Steam Navigation Company. SS Nevasa, also known as HMT Nevasa, was a British troopship built on the River Clyde, Scotland, in 1955 by Barclay, Curle & Co. Ltd. with financial support from the British Government and launched on 30 November 1955. The name is thought to have come from a town (now a city) in Ahmednagar, India. There is an alternative possibility, that it was derived from a corruption of Naivasha, a town and lake northwest of Nairobi, Kenya. The ship was the first troopship built since the end of the Second World War and the largest troopship at that time to be built in the United Kingdom. She entered trooping service in July 1956, shortly before the Suez Crisis and from then until October 1962 was continuously employed in reinforcing and relieving British garrisons in the Far and Middle East. In 1962 she was withdrawn from government service and laid up until 1965 when she was converted to an educational cruise ship. She was sold in 1975 for scrap having completed almost 200 cruises with 188,000 students sailing 745,000 miles (1,200,000 km). (en)
