Transport Ship

Overview
The Transport Ship is an original naval unit from The Conquerors and is produced in the Naval Shipyard for $60. As the name suggests, it is mainly used because of its transportation abilities, being able to garrison up to 6 tanks and soldiers and being able to carry them across water.

Usage
The Transport Ship is one of the best transport units in the game, as it is cheap and can garrison up to 6 ground units (tanks or soldiers). It's mainly used to transport essential troops quickly. It's very useful in water maps where mega crystals are on islands or can be used to transport an invasion force to an island. However, it does not have any way to defend against offensive units. Both the Transport Plane and Transport Ship can transport Tanks across water, but the Transport Ship is much cheaper to build and can also transport Explosive Tanks. This makes the Transport Ship an important unit in the Early Game.

Strategies

 * The Transport Ship is one of the more important units on the naval maps used to transport ground troops to only water accessible places like islands.
 * Due to its inability to defend itself from offensive units, it may be a good idea to have offensive units escort your Transport Ship.

Trivia

 * The Transport Ship was in The Conquerors 2 and The Conquerors Mark 2.
 * The Modern USA Transport Ship skin includes a helipad, but the Transport Ship cannot garrison helicopters.
 * The Transport Ship is the only naval unit that received no changes in the Naval Update.
