SS France was a Compagnie Générale Transatlantique ocean liner, constructed by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard at Saint-Nazaire, France, and put into service in February 1962. From the time of her construction in 1960 until the construction of the 345 m (1,132 ft) RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004, the 316 m (1,037 ft) vessel was the longest passenger ship ever built.

On the record: Type - cruise; Flag - France; Tonnage - 50-100k; Builder - Chantiers de l'Atlantique. The numbers: Length - 315.53 m. 2 of the 7 columns are blank in the source (Launched and Status), so nobody could score them either way.
