Troopships of World War II

Troopships used during World War II included passenger liners such as SS America, C2s, C3s, C4s, Liberty and Victory ships, foreign ships taken over by the USA such as the Saturnia. Troopships were operated by the Army Transportation Service, with "civilian" mariners; by the U.S. Navy; and the War Shipping Administration.

Beginning in June 1941, the U.S. took over various foreign flag ships which were in U.S. ports for use as troopships and cargo ships. These were French, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, and Italian flag ships. In addition many British-flag troopships carried Americans overseas.
