  • 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 ship with steam-powered turbo-electric transmission. (Modern turbo-electric ships, including and Millennium-class cruise ships such as Celebrity Millennium, have gas turbines.) Rangatira had a varied existence, including six years 1977–83 as an accommodation ship and barracks ship. 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.
