Cargo capacity was between 400,000 and 500,000 cubic feet. They were driven by reciprocating steam engines or steam turbines with no LP exhaust. Fuel was typically solid or crushed coal. They were rarely mass produced but had similar design features, such as a pilothouse amidships and engines below the aft superstructure. They were most often used between ports that imported or exported bulk cargoes such as ore, grain, and coal. During the war, neutral vessels remained unarmed. Ships owned by belligerent nations received increasingly heavy armament as the war progressed.
