Her last voyage on this service started 21 October 1914 and she was then converted to an Armed Merchant Cruiser. She resumed Liverpool-New York sailing on 18 December 1916 and on 29 January 1918 collided with, and sank the Canadian Pacific ship "Montreal" near the Mersey Bar. After repairs, she resumed Liverpool-New York voyages on 14 December 1918, and in 1920 was refitted to accommodate 347 first-, 250 second-, and 1,000 third-class passengers.
