HMHS Britannic (originally to be the RMS Britannic) (/ b r ɪ ˈ t æ n ɪ k /) was the third and final vessel of the White Star Line's Olympic class of steamships and the second White Star ship to bear the name Britannic.
After Titanic sank, a rumor began to circulate that the White Star Line had indeed planned to name the third ship "Gigantic", but then changed the name after the Titanic sank to avoid the appearance of arrogance.
Intended to be the third ship in the trio of express liners conceived by Lord Pirrie and Bruce Ismay, the Gigantic was laid down in November 1911, almost six months after the launch of the Titanic, the idea being to incorporate improvements in her based on service experience with her two sisters.
RMS Olympic (1910) and RMS Titanic (1911) had been built. The HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Britannic was the third “wonder ship” to be built. There is some debate whether she was originally planned to be named "Gigantic", but as it can be seen on the name plate on the main picture above it reads "Britannic".
