I remember her quite clearly as she used to refit at the Malta Drydocks where I used to work there.Ther were also other ex-troopships converted to school ships like her.
Presumably they were worthwhile to have them operating as school ships instead of being sold or laid up, in case of an emergency they could readily be reconverted to troopships once again.

Poor Uganda. I sailed on her twice, in 1980 and 1981 - as a cabin passenger. She was a lovely step back into another era.

Any idea when this photo was taken and if the wreck is still there?

More info (in Swedish) here:

http://www.faktaomfartyg.com/uganda_1952.htm

The vessel had been laid up in the river Fal from April 1985. She was sold to Taiwanese breakers and was renamed "Triton" in May 1986. The accident happened when the vessel was anchored off Kaohsiung on 22 August 1988. A typhoon drove her ashore, where she was wrecked. She was later broken up, but the site does not say when.
