'''MV ''Domala''''' was a British [[cargo liner]] that was launched in 1920 as '''''Magvana''''', but completed in 1921 as ''Domala''. She was the first major ocean-going [[passenger ship]] to be built in the [[United Kingdom]] as a [[motor ship]].
The [[British India Steam Navigation Company]] (BI) owned and operated her until 1940, when she was bombed by a German aircraft and burnt out. She was rebuilt for the [[Minister of Shipping|Ministry of Shipping]] (MoS) as the [[cargo ship]] '''''Empire Attendant'''''. [[Bank Line|Andrew Weir & Company]] [[Ship management|managed]] her for the MoS, and for its successor the [[Ministry of War Transport]] (MoWT), until a [[U-boat]] sank her with all hands in 1942.
==Context== In the [[World War I|First World War]], BI lost four nearly new "M" class twin-[[Propeller|screw]] cargo liners to enemy action.{{sfn|Haws|1987|pp=111–113}} After the war it ordered replacements: three to the same dimensions from [[Barclay Curle|Barclay, Curle & Company]] in [[Whiteinch]], [[Glasgow]],{{sfn|Haws|1987|pp=135, 137}} and one, {{convert|20|ft|0}} [[Length overall|longer overall]] (about {{convert|16|ft|0}} longer registered) but otherwise similar, from [[Swan Hunter|Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson]] at [[Wallsend]], [[Tyneside]].{{sfn|Haws|1987|p=138}}
Barclay, Curle launched yard number 577 in July 1920 as ''Mashobra'', and completed her that October with a pair of [[Marine steam engine#Triple or multiple expansion|triple expansion engines]] like her predecessors.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.poheritage.com/Upload/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93759MASHOBRA-1920pdf.pdf |title=Mashobra (1920) |work=Ship Fact Sheet |publisher=P&O Heritage |date=March 2009 |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref> It launched yard number 580 in October 1920 as ''Manela'', and completed her in May 1921 with two sets of three-stage [[John Brown & Company|Brown-Curtis]] [[steam turbine]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.poheritage.com/Upload/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93725MANELA-1921pdf.pdf |title=Manela (1921) |work=Ship Fact Sheet |publisher=P&O Heritage |date=April 1921 |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref> It launched yard number 579 in December 1920 as ''Megvana'', and completed her on 14 December 1921.<ref name=Miramar>{{csr|register=MSI|id=1146266|access-date=19 January 2008}}</ref> Her engines were a pair of [[Single- and double-acting cylinders|single-acting]] [[Four-stroke engine|four-stroke]] [[Diesel engine|diesels]], built by the [[North British Locomotive Company|North British Diesel Engine Works]].{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1922|loc=DOL–DOM}} In order to distinguish her as a motor ship, BI renamed ''Megvana'' as ''Domala'' before she was completed; giving a name beginning with "D" to distinguish her as a diesel ship.{{sfn|Haws|1987|p=138}}
Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson launched ''Modasa'' on 24 December 1920: the same day as Barclay, Curle launched ''Megvana''. ''Modasa'' was completed in December 1921 with [[Metropolitan-Vickers|Metrovick]]-[[Auguste Rateau|Rateau]] steam turbines.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.poheritage.com/Upload/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93802MODASA-1921pdf.pdf |title=Modasa (1921) |work=Ship Fact Sheet |publisher=P&O Heritage |date=April 2009 |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref>

She was delivered to BI that December.<ref name=P&OH/> BI ordered only one diesel [[sister ship]] for ''Domala''. Barclay, Curle built her as yard number 593. She was laid down as ''Melma'', and launched in November 1921. BI renamed her {{MV|Dumana||2}} before she was completed, which was not until March 1923.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.poheritage.com/Upload/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93074DUMANA-1923pdf.pdf |title=Dumana (1921) |work=Ship Fact Sheet |publisher=P&O Heritage |date=April 2009 |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref> By contrast, BI ordered five more "M" class turbine [[steamship]]s, all to the same increased length as ''Modasa'', which were delivered in 1921 and 1922.{{sfn|Haws|1987|pp=136–138}}
==Description== [[File:Domala achterschip, asset HDQbKCIJVU6TPGNUUsTUOSPi.jpg|thumb|''Domala'' from astern]] ''Domala''{{'}}s lengths were {{cvt|464.0|ft|abbr=on}} [[Length overall|overall]] and {{cvt|450.0|ft|abbr=on}} registered. Her [[Beam (nautical)|beam]] was {{cvt|58.3|ft|abbr=on}}, and her depth was {{cvt|32.9|ft|abbr=on}}. She had a straight [[Bow (watercraft)|stem]], [[Stern#Elliptical|counter stern]], one funnel, and two masts. Her holds had capacity for {{convert|516000|cuft|0}} of cargo, and all her winches were electric. As built, her [[tonnage]]s were {{GRT|8551}}, {{NRT|5134}}, and {{DWT|10400}}, and her draught was {{cvt|27|ft|11|in|abbr=on|2}}. She had berths 100 passengers in first class and 50 in second class, and carried a crew of 140.{{sfn|Haws|1987|p=138}}
As built, the combined power output of ''Domala''{{'}}s twin diesel engines was rated at 963 [[Horsepower#Nominal horsepower|NHP]].{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1922|loc=DOL–DOM}} She made {{convert|13.6|kn|km/h}} on her sea trials.<ref name=P&OH/> By 1927 her engines had been re-rated to a combined total of 1,085 NHP.{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1927|loc=DOL–DON}} Her cruising speed was {{convert|13|kn|km/h}}.<ref name=P&OH/> Her [[Fuel bunker|bunkers]] had capacity for 702 tons of [[Heavy fuel oil|oil]], and she consumed 20 tons per day.{{sfn|Haws|1987|p=138}}
As built, ''Domala''{{'}}s navigation equipment included [[Submarine signals|submarine signalling]].{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1922|loc=DOL–DOM}} By 1927 it also included wireless [[direction finding]].{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1927|loc=DOL–DON}}
BI [[Ship registration|registered]] ''Domala'' at Glasgow. Her United Kingdom [[official number]] was 146266 and her [[code letters]] were KLFG.{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1922|loc=DOL–DOM}}{{sfn|''Mercantile Navy List'' 1923|p=618}} By 1930 her [[Wireless telegraphy|wireless telegraph]] [[Maritime call sign|call sign]] was GDMV.{{sfn|''Mercantile Navy List'' 1930|p=663}} By 1934 this had superseded her code letters.{{sfn|''Lloyd's Register'' 1934|loc=DOG–DON}}
==Peacetime career== ''Domala'' began her maiden voyage on 30 December 1921, reaching Bombay (now [[Mumbai Harbour|Mumbai]]), [[British Raj|India]] on 27 January 1922. She returned via [[Port of Karachi|Karachi]].<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=8,000 ton Motor-Liner |date=17 February 1922 |page=6 |issue=42958 |column=C}}</ref> On 23 May 1922 she was going up the [[Scheldt]] to [[Port of Antwerp|Antwerp]] when a ship called ''Pallas'' rammed her stern. ''Pallas'' had an [[icebreaker]] bow, which cut into ''Domala''{{'}}s hull down to below the waterline. ''Domala'' reached her berth in Antwerp, but was out of service for repairs for the rest of the year.<ref name=P&OH/>
''Domala''{{'}}s regular route was between London and [[Port of Kolkata|Calcutta]] via the [[Suez Canal]].{{sfn|Mitchell|Sawyer|1990|p=384}} BI's regular ports of call on this route were [[Gibraltar]], [[Marseille-Fos Port|Marseille]], [[Port Said]], [[Suez]], [[Aden Colony|Aden]], [[Port of Colombo|Colombo]], and Madras (now [[Chennai Port|Chennai]]).<ref>{{cite web |url= https://timetableimages.com/maritime/images/bi.htm |title=British India Steam Navigation Co. - B.I. |work=marine timetable images |publisher=Björn Larsson |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref>
On 6 October 1927 ''Domala'' collided with the British cargo steamship ''Sagama River'' in the [[Humber]], severely damaging her.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Casualty reports |date=7 October 1927 |page=25 |issue=44706 |column=C-D}}</ref> By 1928 ''Domala''{{'}}s passenger accommodation had been reconfigured. She was now a one-class ship, with berths for 111 passengers. By 1934 this had been increased to 140 passengers, but remaining a one-class ship.<ref name=P&OH/> On 12 August 1934 she rammed the stern of a [[Thames sailing barge]], ''Shannon'', at [[Erith]], [[Kent]].<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Casualty Reports |date=13 August 1934 |page=19 |issue=46831 |column=E}}</ref>
==Air attack== On 17 February 1940 ''Domala'' was requisitioned for the Liner Division. She went to Antwerp, where she embarked a party of [[lascar]]s whom [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] had released from [[internment]], and left for [[Port of Southampton|Southampton]].<ref name=P&OH/>
On 2 March 1940 a [[Heinkel He 111]]H of [[Kampfgeschwader 26]], flown by [[Martin Harlinghausen]], attacked ''Domala'' off [[St Catherine's Point]] on the [[Isle of Wight]].{{sfn|Hooton|1994|pp=215, 223}} The bomber dropped two sticks of bombs, setting the ship on fire. As the crew and passengers abandoned ship, the bomber machine-gunned her. A total of 108 people were killed,{{sfn|Mitchell|Sawyer|1990|p=384}} including 81 lascars. This provoked public anger in India against Germany.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Indians and Domala Bombing |date=7 March 1940 |page=7 |issue=48558 |column=B}}</ref>

On 6 March, [[Manny Shinwell]] MP asked in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] why ''Domala'' did not use her [[Defensively equipped merchant ship|DEMS]] guns to defend herself. The [[First Lord of the Admiralty]], [[Winston Churchill]], replied that the aircraft that attacked ''Domala'' had at first been misidentified as an Allied one, so the guns were not manned, and a [[Royal Navy]] destroyer also misidentified the aircraft. Shinwell then asked why the gunners were not always manning the guns. Churchill replied that he was not sure that this would be physically possible.<ref name=Hansard>{{cite book |url= https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1940/mar/06/steamship-domala-enemy-attack |chapter=Steamship "Domala" (Enemy Attack). |title=House of Commons |volume=358 |pages=367–368 |publisher=[[Hansard]] |date=6 March 1940 |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref>
==''Empire Attendant''== The [[Minister of Shipping|Ministry of Shipping]] (MoS) requisitioned ''Domala'', had her rebuilt as a cargo ship, and renamed her ''Empire Attendant''.{{sfn|Mitchell|Sawyer|1990|p=384}} The rebuild reduced her tonnages to {{GRT|7524}} and {{NRT|4529}}, and her draught to {{cvt|27|ft|5+3/4|in|abbr=on|2}}.
