Wartime evaluation of information available through combat logs and intelligence sources credited Tang with sinking 31 ships with an aggregate tonnage of 227,800. When Japanese sources became available after the war, a Joint Army–Navy Assessment Committee (JANAC) compared wartime assessments to actual losses and credited Tang with 24 ships for an aggregate tonnage of 93,824. O'Kane tended to estimate the ships he sank at about twice their actual size. The source is Clay Blair's Silent Victory J.B. Lippincott (1975) page 958.Thewellman (talk) 17:07, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
