30 of 35 and stumbled on Bevin Boys, major ships, arrested author and I forget what else since I did the test hours ago.

Some of the questions were very easy unless you just had no idea about when and who was in the war.

I missed that one, and the author.

Does anyone know how many capital warships were sunk in WWII?

If you count everything from battleship down to light cruiser (including light carriers) probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 150. It depends on the term sunk too. A lot of Axis vessels just got scuttled, discarded or run aground as the war wore down.

This one really pissed me off since it was so subjective:
(Edit: I see, I am far from alone with this one )
 


Yeah well how the Hell can I smell what this page understands under "major warships".
