It took a while for the US to get the war production really going during the war. Logistics and production was a mess in 1942 and it wasn’t really until 1944 that they were pumping out dozens of carriers and hundreds of liberty ships a year.
- bb611 7y agoThe US completed 542 liberty ships in 1942, and 1943 was their peak production year: https://www.mathscinotes.com/2018/05/liberty-ship-production-data/ https://www.mathscinotes.com/2018/05/liberty-ship-production... They reduced liberty ship production in 1944 to produce warships (which are more complex and were produced in much lower numbers)
