Not to make light of your post, I'm occasionally curious about those sorts of stats,

but good-God man! Those numbers make my brain hurt!

As far as I'm concerned, I just want them to point all their guns at the bad-guys and open fire! (whatever they may be)

Punt for you!
:^)

An interesting stat is that late-war Gearing-class destroyers had greater AAA throw weight than the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto in 1943.

Crazy.

Whats even crazier is that pretty much right after the war ended, they ripped most of the 20mm and 40mm guns off of most the ships because they weren't effective anymore!

Yeah, by the time you could sight up a 20mm weapon, the **** plane was on top of you!
