Using Melnibonian's figures:
year built sunk running total
1935 14 0 14
1936 21 0 35
1937 1 0 36
1938 9 0 45
1939 18 0 63
1940 50 23 90
1941 199 35 254
1942 237 86 405
1943 284 242 447
1944 229 250 426
1945 91 120 397

Meduza underestimated 1943 as almost 400 should be 447.

So they did make the 300 available but by 1942, it was too late.

At least we know. Thanks to you all.
