To send reinforcements from CONUS to Europe, or bring US soldiers back home, one wouldn't necessarily need any military transport ships at all.

I don't think anyone is claiming that no civilian merchant shipping exists in the 4e T2kU. I'm confident that at least a few naval vessels would be available for escort duties, even as last as 2000.
The question is, is the fuel for said ships- civie and naval- available?

I was replying to your comment earlier in reply to my USN posts - sorry I should have just made it a general post
One question about fuel may be more is there fuel in Europe - i.e. its great if you can ship stuff there but you need to get the boats or planes home too or you are not going to be able to keep up any supply effort for long
