SS Antenor was a UK steam turbine passenger and refrigerated cargo liner launched in 1924.

[1] In the Second World War Antenor served first as an armed merchant cruiser and then as a troop ship.

She had four steam turbines driving twin screws via single-reduction gearing,[2] which gave her a service speed of 15 knots (28 km/h).

In November 1938 the Antenor carried five giant pandas, caught in Sichuan in China, from Hong Kong to Europe.

On 31 October 1941 the Admiralty returned Antenor to her owners and was converted into a troop ship for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT).

Antenor returned to commercial service with the Ocean Steam Ship Company in February 1946 and continued to serve until 1953 when she was sold to Hughes Bolckow (shipbreakers) for demolition.
