If the American military wasn't yet equal to the Germans or the Japanese, American workers could build ships and planes faster than the enemy could sink them or shoot them down.America launched more vessels in 1941 than Japan did in the entire war.

In 1944 alone, the United States built more planes than the Japanese did from 1939 to 1945. By the end of the war, more than half of all industrial production in the world would take place in the United States.
