An aircraft carrier received enough damage that the fighters could not land back on board. This could have been from systems getting damaged from moving too much while the aircraft were aloft which then could not land on a ship nor a land base. Not all pilots are recovered.

If you captured a base with aircraft, then those would also show up as OPs losses.
