Were the game's German-controlled Liberty ships historical?

Did Germany capture and operate Liberty ships, as the game's American merchant-ship models seem to suggest?

German use of Liberty ships is rejected here; reused game models explain the scene more readily.

An American tanker model in a German-held harbour initially receives the explanation that it could represent captured shipping. Reuse of available game models is then offered as the simpler explanation. The follow-up asks whether Germany actually obtained Liberty ships, including through France, and receives a negative answer. The scene therefore cannot be read directly as a historical inventory of German merchant vessels.
