HMS Rooke was a Royal Navy barracks ship that was commissioned in 1902. The ship was named after Admiral Sir George Rooke, an English naval commander who fought in the Battle of Barfleur and the Battle of La Hogue during the War of the Spanish Succession.
During World War I, HMS Rooke was used as a training and accommodation ship for naval personnel. The ship also operated as a depot ship, providing supplies and maintenance services to other ships in the fleet.
In the interwar years, HMS Rooke continued to serve as a barracks ship and was stationed at various locations, including Rosyth in Scotland, Gibraltar, and Alexandria in Egypt.
During World War II, HMS Rooke was initially based in Alexandria, but later moved to Suez. The ship was involved in the evacuation of troops from Greece and Crete in 1941 and provided support for the British and American landings in North Africa and Sicily.
After the war, HMS Rooke was decommissioned and used as a floating oil jetty in Malta. The ship was eventually scrapped in 1958.
