• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Us ww2 ship losses.....

Thank you for this excellent link Fibber. This is indeed a definitive list, the best I have seen. Looks like tin cans took the brunt of USN losses.
 
P14; Thanks for your response and glad you found it informative. Indeed the cans took the brunt of surface engagement losses. When I rode one of those it was at a time when many WW2 guys were still around and would describe the life expectancy of a can in a battle, and it was usually short for some..
The boats took a large percentage of the losses and would remain on " eternal patrol" with no one to know where.
I had a site that was similar but for aircraft and thought I had posted it but can't find it on my box. THAT was really full of info on each aircraft.
