This ship was used during the Norwegian Campaign, in the area around Narvik. On 5/14/1940, she sailed from Tjeldsundet transporting British troops to Bodø. Just before midnight, German dive bombers attacked the ship 3 times in the middle of the Vestfjorden, setting the ship on fire, exploding ammunition, and killing several army officers and men.
The abandoned ship was sunk by aircraft from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal on 5/16/40.
