extracted text (Extract Text): THE Kilmore was a British gunboat during the war; now
she is a merchantman. She was converted from one to
the other in two months! The picture in the upper right-
hand corner shows the Kilmore in her war paint.
She had a stern-shaped bow, which made it difficult for
the Germans to know whether she was coming or going. But
now, with war paint off, and deck cut away, she is another
vessel, as the picture in the lower left-hand corner shows.
Now she can carry five hundred and seventy tons of cargo
at a speed of ten knots.
The conversion has been so successful that seven other
ships in her class will also be made over into merchantmen
