Estimating Oceanic's troopship capacity

If RMMV Oceanic had accommodation for about 2,800 passengers, how many troops might she carry?

Roughly 12,000 troops, perhaps more, although the figure is an estimate rather than a completed conversion calculation.

Passenger-liner capacity provides the basis for a rough wartime troop estimate. Oceanic might carry about 12,000 troops, possibly more, if the ship's planned passenger capacity was roughly 2,800. The proposed troop total is therefore several times the stated passenger figure. No berth plan or conversion calculation accompanies the estimate, so the number should not be treated as a precise capacity.
