During the war she served as first an armed merchant cruiser and then as a troop ship.

Queen of Bermuda was the sister ship of Monarch of Bermuda which had been launched in March 1931 and entered service that December.
Vickers-Armstrongs built Queen of Bermuda at its shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness. She was launched on 2 September 1932 and completed in February 1933. She was 553.4 ft (168.7 m) long, had a beam of 76.7 ft (23.4 m) and draught of 27 ft (8.2 m). She was assessed as 22,575 GRT and 12,777 NRT.
