SS Lombardia was one of a pair of transatlantic steam ocean liners that were launched in 1914 in Germany for the Hamburg America Line (HAPAG), sold to a Dutch shipping line in 1916, and seized by the United States as World War I reparations in 1922.

United American Lines (UAL) operated her until 1926, when HAPAG bought her back.

In 1935 Flotte Riuniti Cosulich-Lloyd Sabaudo bought Resolute from HAPAG, renamed her Lombardia and had her converted into a troop ship.

After the First World War began in July 1914, work to complete the ship was paused.

Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd (KRL) lost four cargo ships: Palembang and Kediri in 1916[2][3] and Bandoeng and Jacarta in 1917.

A pair of four-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines drove her port and starboard screws.

[11] Another states that W. Averell Harriman's United American Lines (UAL) bought the two ships from KHL and KRL.

[1] UAL renamed Limburgia as Reliance, had Blohm & Voss in Hamburg refit her[1] as a three-class ship.

Initially UAL registered Reliance in the USA, but in 1923 she was re-registered in Panama to circumvent prohibition in the United States.

[18] On 4 August 1943 Lombardia was in Naples when an Allied air raid set her on fire and sank her.
