Troop transports are the toughest ship to destroy out of the three neutral ships. Like other ships, you can easily destroy them with machine gun fire to their decks. Unfortunately, their cargo is not volatile - so you cannot trigger an explosion like with the other ships. They can still, however, be shot - and sunk - in this manner. It just takes a little while longer. | Troop transports are the toughest ship to destroy out of the three neutral ships.

'''Official Description:''' ''Both the U.S. and Imperial navies have co-opted a large number of civilian cruise ships for the purpose of transporting soldiers over long distances. When close to a landing zone, the troops then disembark into landing craft such as the Higgins boats or Daihatsu barges to reach the shore. As these are civilian ships, they are not armoured, which makes them easy targets. However, they are usually fitted with some light armament to give them a chance against attackers.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''Both the U.S. and Imperial navies have co-opted a large number of civilian cruise ships for the purpose of transporting soldiers over long distances.
