I just provided a list of available Allied Merchant shipping in 1939, I wasn't proving your point.
The Allies lost just under 22 million tons of shipping between 1939-45, and 17 million tons were lost in the Atlantic. Only the US and the British Commonwealth built new ships for the Allies during the war. The US built 34 million tons of shipping and the British Commonwealth built just over 9 million tons of shipping. Take out the US and you have an increasingly smaller and clapped out merchant fleet. Take out US Navy resources and you have a smaller Alllied naval fleet.
