Three other forms of loading are more commonly used for U. S. sea convoys. One is "unit loading" in which all the equipment and men of a unit get aboard the same ship.... Other loading methods are "convoy loading" in which one convoy holds all the task force equipment, permitting the loading of ships in a way which fills them almost completely, and the most efficient method of all, "commercial loading" where even the spaces between the deck beams can be filled. 3, record 1, English, - convoy%20loading
