British fleet had her own theatre ship according to the Dutch newspaper De Sumatra Post dated 26 January 1918
An item referred to the Naval and Military Record reporting that a large theatre ship was added to the British fleet to entertain the crews of the ships. She was such large that she was able to accommodate the crew of a battleship of battle cruiser at the same time. The shows were given by the own personnel. If any ship was interested was a simple request of her commanding officer to the fleet command enough to get the theatre ship along side for a evening. The same item also mentioned that some large warships even seemed to have billiards on board for the sailors.
