I read somewhere on Ebay that the Britannic was in service from 1930-1960? I thought the ship never got the chance to see service because it was commissioned for war and was destroyed by that bomb.
How many Britannics?

The ship that ran from 1930 to 1960 was Britannic III; the Olympic/Titanic sister ship was Britannic II.
Do you know what happened to the Britannic I or was that ship built before the Olympic class came about? I had no idea that there were 3 Britannics.
Tripp, you might want to click on Britannic I for a history of this ship. She served from 1874 to 1903 when she was sold to a German scapping firm for £11,500.
Hmmm...not sure why there's no biography of Britannic I on her Great Ships page. I'll see that that gets corrected.
There were three White Star Line ships with the name Britannic. There was the SS Britannic from 1874, the famous HMHS Britannic from 1916, and the MV Britannic from 1929.
