Among the first ships seized by this
government when war was declared
asralnst Germany. It was discovered
that members of the Leviathan's crew J
had don what they believed to be
irreparable damage to the engines with
the evident Intention that she could
not be used against the forces rep
resented by tne nag she formerly car
ried.
American engineering skill, however.
proved equal to the emergency and
after weeks of hard work. Navy me
chanics succeeded In not only restor
ing the ship to her former efficiency,
but actually In securing a greater speed
man berore.
These repairs were made at a cost
of approximately 11.000.000. and It la
a matter of pride to the overseas trans
port forces that she has not missed a
single scheduled voyage since she was
placed In commission.
Armed to a degree that made her al
most aa formidable as a modern battle
cruiser, and further strengthened by
ner great speed, she braved the sub
marine dangers of the war sons and
tame through without a scratch. Her
voyages through the war sone have
been ten In number, and she has rar-
ried an average of 10,000 men besides
her crew.
