Escorts
Well, the Japanese Navy started the war with 108 destroyers with 43 being built... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperia...f_World_War_II)
and I notice that 145 were sunk during the war ( http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/Japa...-Losses-3.html)
Not sure how many were completed during the war, but I woudn't expect a lot of escorts at the end of the war...
