Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes to solve two problems facing the post-World War One United States. First, it seeks to find alternative uses for US Army transport ships sitting idle after the war and, second, to stimulate the development of shipping routes between the US and the rest of the world. The book explores how idle troopships could be used as the basis for creating new steamship routes, which would in turn boost the fortunes of the American merchant marine and reduce the cost of transporting men and materiel across the oceans. The author argues that both commercial and military interests would benefit from this plan as civilian ships could be used in times of war to boost troop and supply transport capacity and naval vessels could be relieved of non-military tasks.
