Cautionary note![edit]

I just corrected "After a trip to France, she was delivered to the USSR by the Army in March 1921." with a link to the Soviet Union that has been in this article since its origin on Wikipedia. On a suspicion I checked the old link to DANFS at Haze Gray and sure enough, that wording is there. Haze Gray did a fair job of providing on line DANFS before it became fully available at the official site, but some volunteer contributors and editors were not as thorough as they should be in proofing transcriptions from the printed books. NHHC's entry is correct with "After a trip to France, she was delivered to the USSB by the Army in March 1921." Haze Gray links should be replaced by the Navy's official site.

Army troops manning ship's guns[edit]

The citation needed for "The Battalion manned these guns from 7 December until their arrival in Brisbane Australia." is due to the absence of any such note that embarked Army Field Artillery manned a U.S. Naval transport's fixed battery of naval type guns. Those would normally be crewed by naval personnel, later in the war by personnel of the reconstituted U.S. Navy Armed Guard. Official sources I've checked recently only refer to these Army troops manning guns found in the convoy's cargo and installed on improvised mounts on deck. At the same time there is no reason to discount the drafting of trained artillerymen to assist with naval type guns in this emergency. Palmeira (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of the WW1 voyages of the Grant (as it was named at the time)[edit]

G. W. Garlock (then commander of the US Army 32nd Division, 128th Company) describes in his 1927 book "Tales of the Thirty Second" that "most" of the AEF 32nd Division left New York Feb 19, 1918 with troop transports including the "George Washington, Grant, Covington, Susquehanna and Pastores", and also "Manchuria" loaded with munitions, with armed escort that included the battleship "Huntington" and joined while under way by "DeKalb". He arrives in Brest, France on March the 4th, 1918. --71.82.64.203 (talk) 05:07, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Useless info here[edit]

But just have to note that my Grandmother arrived at Ellis Island on this ship 1912-14 when it was President Grant. Brad (talk) 18:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
