SS Tai Hing (Chinese: 大興) was a river steamer built in 1927. In 1940, she was given to the Hong Kong Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (HKRNVR) and replaced HMS Cornflower as the headquarters of the unit. She was renamed HMS Cornflower (Chinese: 禾花) after its predecessor. To avoid confusion, the ship was sometimes referred to as HMS Cornflower II.
