Yes teapot, I was an Apprentice Engineer in Persic 1959-60.
Persic, Runic, Suevic, Corinthic, Athenic, Gothic and Ceramic, Shaw Savill's Magnificent Seven all had hull designs based on the Wairangi and her sisters, with the twin screw diesels replaced by steam turbines.

The first Wairangi was indeed built in 1935 Gordy, by H&W Govan. One of 3 Shaw Savill ships lost in 1942 from the Pedestal convoy, just short of Malta.
This Wairangi was built as Empire Grace by H&W Belfast.
