Miscellaneous Notes

I was going through some miscellaneous economics notes taken about 30 years ago from various sources. I don't know what might be useful to someone.

Total IJN oil consumption rate during fleet operations, 10/24/41: 400 tons/hour

Cost to create synthetic oil production capacity, 1941:
Japan for 4000000 tons/year: 3years, 2,100,000,000 yen and 1000000 tons of steel to build, 25000000 tons/year of coal to run.
In Germany for 3,300,000 tons per year: 2,400,000 tons of steel and 7,600,000 man days to build.

The repair/construction yards in Sydney could build DDs and repair CVs.
