She was refitted as a passenger cruiser again in 1918. She was to be scrapped in 1938, but this plan was cancelled with the outbreak of the Second World War, she was laid up with 2 other Cunard ships, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth as well as the French ocean liner Normandie awaiting further orders. She was then refitted into a troop ship in 1940. She was almost destroyed that year by German spy ships, luckily she survived and became a cruiser again in 1946. She continued to sail for that remainder time, she was finally scrapped in 1950 to make way for new ships.
