Just for kicks, here is the offical USN history of the PH raid. Near the bottom, you can see the amount of American AA expended, by calibre! http://www.history.navy.mil/docs/wwii/pearl/CinCPac.htm To me this report is a fascinating read with details on deployment,(including extra dive-bombers which were being transported to Midway!) Here is the ammo report.. (a) 5"/51 cal. 150 rounds (b) 5"/38 cal. 1,665 rounds (c) 5"/25 cal. 1,523 rounds (d) 4"/50 cal. 4 rounds (e) 3"/50 cal. 1,741 rounds (f) 3"/23 cal. 1,060 rounds (A) CASUALTY REPORT (a) Own (b) Enemy (a) Own Casualties. On 9, 18, and 24 December, 1941 (Cincpac serials 02016, 02054, and 02108, respectively), reports were forwarded to the Secretary of the Navy listing all dead and wounded, by ships and stations, resulting from the Pearl Harbor Raid. (b) Enemy Casualties. Deduced from reports available to the Commander-in-Chief, it is estimated that the enemy lost, due solely to Navy action, a minimum of 68 killed, about one-quarter of whom were undoubtedly officer pilots. An estimate of wounded cannot be made. One officer (Ensign) was taken prisoner. He abandoned his small submarine after it struck a reef off the north shore of Oahu. (B) DAMAGE REPORT (a) Own (b) Enemy (a) Own Damage. A current recapitulation of all ship damage received on 7 December, 1941, as a result of the Pearl Harbor Raid, is set forth in detail in Enclosure (C). Damage to aircraft is covered in Enclosure (D). (b) Enemy Damage. Based upon a careful study of reports received from the various units involved, including plots by individual ships of enemy planes actually shot down, believed to have been shot down, and seen in flames, it is conservatively estimated that the enemy lost a total of 28 planes due to Navy action, as indicated in enclosed plot (enclosure (A-6)). Three enemy submarines of 45 tons each and carrying 2 torpedoes were accounted for; two were destroyed by Navy action and one grounded off Bellows Field and was recovered. (C) AMMUNITION REPORT The following is a recapitulation of reports, by ships, of total ammunition expended on 7 December, 1941, incident to the Pearl Harbor attack: (g) 1.1" 5,770 rounds (h) .50 cal. 221,368 rounds (i) .30 cal. 48,669 rounds (j) .45 cal. 2,519 rounds (k) Depth Charges 8 NOTE: This includes only reports received to date.
