RMS Ausonia, launched in 1921, was one of Cunard's six post First World War A class ocean liners for the Canadian service. She was built in Newcastle by Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., launched on 22 March 1921 and completed in June, and made her maiden voyage on 31 August 1921 from Liverpool to Montreal before moving to the London to Canada route. In 1938 she carried about 50 American veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade home from Le Havre, and in 1939 she took the composer Benjamin Britten and tenor Peter Pears to Canada. Requisitioned in 1939 as an armed merchant cruiser, she became a heavy repair ship in 1942, later a depot ship at Malta, and was broken up in Spain in 1965.
