Based on the types of merchants included tonnage scores will be too high. The Liberty, Victory, and Cimarron were very large merchants for their time; the C-1 and C-2 were quite big too. In real life, even oceangoing convoys would sometimes have few ships over 6,000 GRT. Coastal convoys often had nothing but merchants of 500 - 2,000 GRT.
