Why did the 1939 cash-and-carry amendment to the Neutrality Acts favor Britain over Germany?

The cash-and-carry amendment let countries at war buy U.S. arms only if they paid immediately and transported the goods themselves. Britain had a much larger fleet and could move supplies across the Atlantic, while Germany faced the British naval blockade. So the rule favored Britain because it had more ships available to carry arms.
