There, she loaded a cargo of automobiles, trucks, animals, and sundry other Army supplies before moving north to New York City to join a convoy which sailed for France on 20 February.

She reached Brest on 18 May and proceeded southeast along the coast of France to the Gironde estuary where she unloaded her cargo and took on ballast for the return voyage.

Ticonderoga took on another Army shipment at Newport News and joined an east-bound convoy at New York on 12 July.

Twenty-two of those survivors were in one lifeboat and were picked up by the British steamer SS Moorish Prince four days later.

The other two, the executive officer and the first assistant engineer, were taken prisoner on board the U-boat and eventually landed at Kiel, Germany, when U-152 completed her cruise.

Lieutenant Commander James Jonas Madison received the Medal of Honor for his actions on Ticonderoga.
