From 1943 onward, the Allies perceived a need for faster transport ships. The desperate shipping crisis of the early Battle of the Atlantic had receded somewhat, and emphasis could now be placed on improved quality and speed. The result was the Victory-class ships, capable of 15–17 knots and propelled by a steam turbine rather than a simple steam engine. Hundreds of Victory-class ships served as cargo vessels and attack transports for the remainder of the war.
Now available separately from the Merchant Convoy boxed set players can build larger convoys to enhance their games of Victory at Sea. Pack Contains three Victory Ships.
