  It was small and ill-equipped.

Explanation:

  During World War I the U.S. Navy focused on countering Germans U-boats and send men and supplies to France and Italy.

  When the Congress declared war on April of 1917 the United States Navy was ill-prepared for war so the solution they found was to deploy everything they got available for the convoy to transport the millions of troops and supplies across the Atlantic Ocean.

Option: It was small and ill-equipped.

Explanation:

The main task of the United States at the beginning of World War I was to transport millions of American soldiers and supplies arm, ammunition along with other goods across the Atlantic to France. When the need for the United States Navy called, it was ill-equipped with small naval guns defended by armed guards. Though being ill-equipped, the United States was able to destroy German U- boats (submarine) in the Atlantic Ocean.
