[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Minutiae: You're suggesting 40% ship losses in the war? Holy Christ, that's a lot! And we "won." I realize that WWII stats are not exactly analogous, but they show facts of large fleet operations. Of the 1700 named combatants of the USN in WWII (SS, DD, DE, CC, CV, CVE, but not LST, PT, or merchant ships), they lost 181 or about 10%. The loss rate depended a lot on ship type. About 80% of ships lost were subs or destroyers (loss rate, about 15%) while about 10% of CV/CVEs and BBs, and 7% of CA, CB, CL were lost. The overall lost rate is also lowered by late-war production with relatively low loss rates, especially for big ships. But I still think 40% is pretty catastrophic, what I'd expect a losing side to have. [/QB][/QUOTE]
