  • TEV Rangatira was a roll-on/roll-off vehicle and passenger ferry launched in 1971 for the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand. She is significant for having been the World's last surviving passenger ship with steam-powered turbo-electric transmission. (Modern turbo-electric ships, including RMS Queen Mary 2 and Millennium-class cruise ships such as Celebrity Millennium, have gas turbines.) Rangatira had a varied existence, including serving as an accommodation ship and barracks ship between 1977 and 1983. The Union Company sold her in 1986 and she returned to being a ferry. From 1986 onwards, she passed through a succession of owners who renamed her three times and registered her under three different flags of convenience: as Queen M in 1986, Carlo R in 1990 and Alexander the Great in 2001. After a failed attempt to convert the vessel into a cruise ship she was scrapped in 2005. (en)
  • La Rangatira era una nave traghetto. Costruita nel 1972 per prestare servizio in Nuova Zelanda, tra il 1982 ed il 1983 fu utilizzata come nave appoggio in seguito alla Guerra delle Falkland. In seguito passò di mano ad armatori greci e italiani, prendendo i nomi di Queen M e Carlo R.. Fu demolita nel 2005 con il nome di Alexander the Great. È stata l'ultima nave passeggeri esistente al mondo dotata di motori elettrici accoppiati con turbine a vapore. (it)
