No mention that the British Cunard liners, like the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, were subsidised by the government. The government loved having big fast ships it could requisition as troup carriers. The two queens were too fast to be intercepted by uboats. Mary moved 800k troups in WW2 As late as 1982 the Canberra was requisitioned and sent to the Falkland Islands conflict.
