USS Allen (DD-66) escorts USS Leviathan (SP-1326), which is carrying American troops to Europe through the U-boat-infested Atlantic. Convoys such as this carried close to 2 million men to Europe before the Armistice of November 1918. During the course of the war, Leviathan alone transported over 98,000 fighting men.
