troopship
Military personnel vessel
A troopship is a vessel used to transport military personnel, especially across oceans during wartime.
Large passenger liners were often converted to troopships in both World Wars: The troopship carried three thousand soldiers to the front.
The term applies to any ship whose primary purpose is moving troops rather than cargo or civilians.
