Question

how did florida contribute to the u.s. war effort during world war i?
factories in miami and orlando built fighter planes.
shipyards in tampa and jacksonville built allied vessels.
u.s. army camps in key west and pensacola trained allied tank drivers.
u.s. navy schools in st. petersburg and panama city trained radar operators.

Explanation:

To determine Florida's contribution to the U.S. war effort in World War II, we analyze each option:

• Factories in Miami/Orlando building fighter planes: Not a major WWII Florida contribution.
• Shipyards in Tampa/Jacksonville building Allied vessels: Florida’s shipyards (e.g., Tampa, Jacksonville) did construct ships for Allied forces, aligning with naval production efforts.
• Army camps training tank drivers: Key West/Pensacola were naval, not tank-training hubs.
• Army camps training radar operators: Army camps in those areas were not focused on radar training (naval aviation training was more prominent).
• Navy schools training radar operators: St. Petersburg/Panama City Navy schools’ focus was not primarily radar operators.

The most accurate contribution is shipyards building Allied vessels.

Answer:

Shipyards in Tampa and Jacksonville built Allied vessels.
