Merchant ships cover sea lanes of 56000 miles
Washington American merchant vessels delivering men and materials to war theaters cover routes totaling 56 000 miles per General George C Marshall Chief of Staff The report notes unprecedented Pacific Area and Far East logistics challenges and the need to land and maintain forces in Australia with more than twice the tonnage used in Europe or North Africa It highlights early 1942 efforts to move troops and materials despite port shortages and the eventual expansion of fast cargo ships to balance personnel and cargo capacity The Marshall analysis also credits ships under private management with landing 150 000 troops in the South and Southwest Pacific by June 1942 and attributes the delay of the North Africa invasion to the merchant shipping shortage
