transport ship
Vessel hauling goods
A transport ship is a vessel designed to carry troops, military equipment, or supplies rather than to engage in combat.
The term appears most often in military and historical contexts: The transport ships landed soldiers on the beach at dawn.
In science fiction, transport ships move cargo or passengers between planets or space stations.
