Why World War II wooden craft used different forestry

Did World War II wooden ship and boat programmes reuse the forests once managed for sailing warships?

Partly, but plywood and other modern wooden structures created a different material demand from traditional heavy-timber hulls.

Wartime builders reused forest-management knowledge and some familiar woods. Many World War II boats and small ships, however, relied on plywood and other engineered forms rather than the massive grown timbers of a ship of the line. Their structures drew on a different material system even when wood remained strategically important. Forestry practice carried over more readily than the construction methods of the sailing navy.
