WWII troopship

A WWII troopship was a large vessel designed to transport soldiers safely across oceans during the war. These ships prioritized high capacity, carrying thousands of troops, equipment, and supplies. They often had defenses like anti-aircraft guns and camouflage to protect from enemy attacks. Troopships played a crucial role in deploying large numbers of troops to various theaters of battle, ensuring soldiers arrived ready for combat. Despite their size and importance, they were vulnerable to enemy submarines and aircraft, requiring escort ships and strategic planning to reduce casualties.
