On a slighty more amusing note:
Japan:
Battle off Samar
4 Battleships (Including Da
Yamato her self), 6 Cruisers, 2 Lights, and 11 Destroyers give chase to 6 CVEs, 3 DDs, 3 DE with 12 more CVEs, 6 DDs, and 4 DE near by. At the end only 1 CVE was sunk with three damaged (and 2 DDs and 1 DE sunk) and the IJN 3 CAs short and 3 a limping.

So much for so very little.
