Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I aromatawaihia te kaipuke hei kaipuke hohipera a te ope taua, i kiia he pai ake i etahi i hurihia, engari kaore i hurihia, kaore ano hoki i whakamahia hei kaipuke hohipera. I tohaina te kaipuke ki nga whakaritenga kawe waka a te ope taua ka whakahaerehia e Alooa Steamship Company i raro i te kirimana reti wa o te Army Transportation Corps kia tae ra ano ki raro i te kirimana WSA whanui me te Eastern Steamship i te Poutu-te-rangi 25. I te 1 o Akuhata 1942 i tukuna te kaipuke ki Norfolk, Virginia mo te whakahaere i raro i te reti kore e te Tari Pakanga (Army) mo te mahi hei Kaihauturu a te United States Army. I whakahaerehia te kawe i te haurua tuatahi o te 1942 mai i New Orleans ki Curaçao, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, me Panama. I muri i te whakatikatika me te huri i Galveston, Texas i te marama o Hepetema me te Oketopa 1942, ka tiimata te "Evangeline" i nga mahi mai i New York i te marama o Noema ki Oran, Casablanca, Algiers, Bizerte, me etahi atu tauranga o Awherika ki te Raki e tautoko ana i nga mahi i muri i te mutunga o te pakanga.
Ko te rerenga ki Awherika ki te Raki i te 8 o Whiringa-a-rangi 1942. Ko te kawe i tetahi haerenga ki te United Kingdom i muri i te hokinga ki New York i Akuhata 1943 a i te Hanuere 1944 i wehe atu mo te mahi i te Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA) mo nga mahi.
