TRUTH !!
Menestheus, launched in 1929 for the UK Shipping Company, Blue Funnel Line, was requisitioned by the British Navy to be converted into a minelayer during World War II. Subsequently reclassified as HMS Menestheus, and when her minelaying tasks were completed in 1943, she was converted again into a mobile amenities ship for the British warships in the Pacific. This not only incorporated a movie theatre and canteen into her hull, but also saw the start of the construction of a brewery built on board in order to give freshly brewed beer to the troops serving in the Pacific arena. Unfortunately, or rather very fortunately as it turned out, the war ended before the brewery could be completed, so the gallant little Menestheus, feeling rather dizzy and no doubt a lot thirstier, was returned to the Blue Funnel Line in 1946.
