My abuelo was there. Lived through that to eventually come home to S.A., have my Dad and Aunt, only to die a few years later in a traffic accident here.

While tragic for my family, the men and women from his generation were badasses.

US Navy ships

Dec 7 1941 vs 14 May 1945

Battleships: 17 vs 23
Fleet carriers: 7 vs 28
Escort carriers: 1 vs 71
Cruisers: 37 vs 72
Destroyers: 172 vs 377
Submarines: 112 vs 232
Amphibious warfare: 0 vs 2,547
Total: 790 vs 6,768



These numbers are just astounding. Just the escort carriers alone. Relatively small compared to an Essex but even they are pretty big ships in their own right.
