The SR Merchant Navy class (originally known as the 21C1 class and later informally known as Bulleid Pacifics Spam Cans or Packets) is a class of air-smoothed 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotives designed for the Southern Railway of the United Kingdom by Oliver Bulleid. The Pacific design was chosen in preference to several others proposed by Bulleid. The first members of the class were constructed during the Second World War and the last of the 30 locomotives in 1949.
