Default S.S. Fort Halkett loaded with military cargo

Ever wondered how all those great Canadian vehicles made it to the battle zones? Aboard Canadian ships of course! Here is info on the disposition of the cargo aboard the S.S. Fort Halkett, a DEMS (Defensively Equipped Merchant Ship) built in my home town of Vancouver, B.C. The diverse cargo of softskins, armour and stores are divided amongst three decks in the 5 holds. The S.S. Fort Halkett was sunk by U-185 off Recife, Brazil after delivering this cargo to Bone, Algeria.
