The engine was built by Chantiers & Ateliers de Provence. [4] [3] Rated at 1,376 NHP, they could propel the ship at 18 knots (33 km/h) with her twin screw propellers. [4]

[4] In February 1916, American passengers booked to travel on Espagne received anonymous letters telling them not to. [7] From 1916–20, she served as a troopship. Espagne returned to the Central American and Caribbean routes in 1920. [4] In 1926, a decree was issued in Mexico that all priests had to be born there. A number of Spanish priests were arrested and deported. Fourteen of them travelled on Espagne from Veracruz to a Spanish port in February 1926. [8] On 20 August 1926, she struck a rock off A Coruña, Spain and damaged one of her propellers. [9] Espagne served until June 1932, when she was laid up.
