Queen Mary Had Dull Life During War
Commodore Sir James G. Bisset said Queen Mary carried about 650 000 troops during the war and 500 000 were Americans. The ship did not fire a gun or escort submarines, its speed of 29 knots cited as its convoy protection. Churchill was a passenger three times, described as pleasant but sometimes impatient. The liner will take about six months to resume passenger service after postwar refit and may retain GI souvenirs from the voyage.
