The Japanese referred to the US as a Sleeping Giant because of its Industry. Up until the attack on Pearl Harbour, the American War Industry was very small, just making supplies for the British to use.
After the American's were attacked however, there entire economy was shifted to a war time effort. At the peak of the American War time Industry, they were making something like a ship a day. Or at least launching one a day.
