Another point of comparison - especially if one takes the points made in this thread and select models for comparison which were introduced relatively late in the war - no-one was bombing the ordure out of the people & places involved in the US design, development & build process.
One might like to incorporate one or two nice bits in ones boats, but if a factory making some of the parts is wiped off the map - it becomes much much harder to do.
