L. s. SINKS So VESSELS
Neither do the figures cited take
into account troop transports and
other vessels sunk. To date. Amer
lean forces have sunk 50 Japanese
ships of all types, while the Dutch
have accounted for at least 81,
Japanese warship losses at the
hands of American forces, as re-
ported in army and navy Commu-
nlqucS were: one battleShip sunk,
three damaged badly; two cruisers
destroyed, two crippled; five de-
stroycrS sunk. six hit five Subma.
rinpS sunk. one hit: one Gunboat
and one minesweeper sunk, and
one seaplane tender and one air.
craft carrier damaged (the latter
torpedoed and probably sunkD.
In addition, the Americans de-
stroyed a total of % troop trans
ports and scored hits on at least
eight others.
MADE MORE SERIOUS
Before the war. Japanese naval
strength was estimated in Wash
ington at 10 battleships. eight air.
craft carriers. as cruisers l25 de-
stroyers and II submarines. Az
least 3S of all types also were
known 10 he under construction.
What makes the picture more
serious for the Japanese, experts
say. is the fact that the enemy
does not have the capacity to re-
place losses or handle repairs al
anywhere near the United States
rate.
Also significant is the fact that
United Nations naval units have
been conserving their numerically
inferior units-by- employing hit
and-run tactics.
