I don't get it. A passenger ship or liner is not a warship (even as a troop transport), a monitor seldom sailed without escort.

A Royal Mail Ship becomes a "warship", then a hospital ship. Ok, some say the Lusitania also was a warship, but ..

P'd off the US ok, but official history tells us the sinking was a war crime, and that the Zimmermann telegram lead to the declaration of war.
But let's not go into this here, or i might develop into a "Reichsbuerger".
