Not a freighter but I've just read that she was in fact armed (not an armed merchant) and did actually serve in the country of her builders navy.....sorry

Not a freighter but armed. That makes me want to call it a converted passenger ship as a troop transport. Is it a troop transport?

Just to recap after my unforgiveable bout of stupidity.
A ship Not British An armed warship No connection with the Mediterranean (as far as I'm aware) Not a freighter, troop transport or armed merchant

Neither but the ship in question does start 'USS' and Kroonland is headed in the right direction.
CLUE: There was a fictional book written about her.
