Cargo capacity was between 200,000 and 500,000 cubic feet; however, much of this space was taken up by living facilities for troops. Older ships were powered by steam turbines or reciprocating steam engines, with no LP exhaust system. Fuel was typically solid or crushed coal, although a minority were converted to burn oil. They were rarely mass produced but were made to order in small classes of 5-10 ships. They were requisitioned from civilian operators and outfitted with accomodations for up to several thousand troops. These ships were only operated by belligerent nations. Although they originally lacked armament, lateer in the war they mounted a respectable battery of weapons that made them dangerous to submarines and small surface combatants.
