The second Vaterland built for the Hamburg-Amerika Line, this 824-foot (251 m), 41,000 ton liner's construction was postponed due to World War II. She was finally launched in 1940, but she was laid up due to workforce and material shortage during the war. She was destroyed by Allied bombers in 1943. Her wreckage was scrapped in 1948.
