In April 1918 the U.S. Navy took over the 13,638 gross ton passenger-cargo steamship Mongolia (built in 1904). Placed in commission in early May as the transport USS Mongolia (ID # 1615), she carried troops to Europe until the November 1918 Armistice, then began bringing American veterans home from the former war zone. She was decommissioned in September 1919 and returned to her owner.
