Dedicated ammunition ships were large, but they weren't used to haul the stuff across the pond; they were fleet support ships designed to replinesh the warships.

A recent interesting discovery I made was that there were several liberty ships built as tankers...but to fool the enemy they looked just like the regular cargo versions.
