Which if my maths serve me correct is 110 at war end
Wheras the Uk had by the end of the war built 24 fleet carriers ( including carriers available at war start ) and also built another which went to Canada
5 were sunk
Escort carriers were 44 in number with 2 sunk
And 17 merc conversions - none sunk
Which meant 80 by the war end
According to uboat.net anyway
Didnt count the ships never completed ( US=2 ) or finished as maintenance ships ( UK=2 )

You...you mean something I found on the internet isn't correct?! The internet is always correct! :rotfl:
Thanks for setting me straight. I had no idea they built so many. I was even surprised by the 66 number.
