P36 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS_P36_(1916)&action=edit&redlink=1), a P-class patrol boat (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_P_class_patrol_boat&action=edit&redlink=1) launched in 1916 and sold in 1923.

You could be right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rms_queen_mary_2008.jpg

It's certainly not Normandie or Imperator, the other ships with three exhaust pipes.:-D

[Mark]
