Nearly all American GIs were transported to England by way of troop transport ships, but some were transported by converted passenger steamers.
The USS Central Falls Victory was a Victory-class cargo ship launched in 1944, originally designed for transporting cargo during World War II. After the war, in 1946, it was repurposed as a troop ship to assist in the repatriation of military personnel. The ship played a vital role in safely transporting troops back to the United States, contributing to the post-war demobilization efforts. Its versatility as a cargo and troop transport exemplified the adaptability of Victory-class ships during and after the war.
Titanic never touched Germany. She departed from Southampton, England. The only ships that has touched Germany was HMHS Britannic and TP (Troop Transport Ship) Olympic.
Convoys in WW1 were used to protect the merchant and troop ships coming to Britain, carrying food, ammunition and general supplies. The convoys comprised of a core of merchant ships (and sometimes Q-Boats, which were designed to be disguised as merchant ships, but had guns and depth charges to destroy U-boats) surrounded by navy ships, which guarded the merchant vessels. Some navy ships had hydrophones (a machine using radio waves to detect a U-boat under water.). They also went in a zig-zag route, to make it harder for the U-Boats to torpedo the ships.

The convoy was the primary method of protection. In addition to secrecy, the convoy zigged and zagged making it difficult for the enemy to complete firing solutions and predict where the ships were going to be in the future.

U.S. ships that transported Marines to Vietnam included amphibious assault ships, such as the USS Iwo Jima and USS Bon Homme Richard, as well as troop transport ships like the USS General William O. Darby. These vessels were essential for deploying Marines and their equipment during the Vietnam War, particularly during significant operations like the initial landing at Da Nang in 1965. The use of these ships enabled quick and efficient troop movements, crucial for military operations in the region.
