History The boat originally served as a Canadian anti-submarine River-class frigate called HMCS ''Stormont'', launched in 1943. HMCS ''Stormont'' served as a convoy escort during the Battle of the Atlantic and was present at the Normandy landings. Onassis purchased the ''Stormont'' after the end of World War II, as it was one of the many surplus naval vessels. Purchasing the ship at scrap value of US$34,000, Onassis then spent an additional US$4 million to convert the vessel into a luxurious superyacht, named after his daughter Christina. The conversion made full use of the navy ship's size and powerful naval engineering systems to create large, ornate interiors and elaborate luxuries: such as a mosaic swimming pool that once drained can be raised up to deck level to become a dance floor.
