"With that said on 15 September 1945 the now gargantuan Third Fleet consisted of -
20 Fleet Carriers (CV), 8 Light Carriers (CVL), 64 Escort Carriers (CVE), 23 Battleships (BB), 52 Light & Heavy Cruisers (CA - CL), 323 Destroyers (DD), 298 Destroyer Escorts (DE), 181 Submarines, 160 Mine Craft, 1060 Support & Auxiliary Vessels, 2783 Landing Craft, 14,847 Combat Aircraft, along with 1286 Transport & Utility Aircraft"
