The Allies needed lots of ships for the same reason any army needs a navy. They needed to transport troops from America to Europe everyday and patrol the coasts of the US for German U-boats (submarines) to keep American people safe. Also, in the pacific aircraft carriers served as airports for the air force. Lastly, the Allied army needed to have some type of defense from the other enemy battleships.
