SS Cap Trafalgar was a German ocean liner launched in 1913 for Hamburg Süd. In 1914, she was converted for use as an auxiliary cruiser during World War I. She was sunk in action with HMS Carmania, also a converted ocean liner, in a furious action in the South Atlantic on 14 September 1914. It was the world's first battle between former ocean liners.
