Interesting how the Battle of the Bismarck Sea was reported. We now know that there were 8 DDs and 8 Transports, and 4 DDs and all 8 Transports were sunk. I think the troop losses in the article are also over-estimated by about double. Still, the Allies needed the propaganda to increase morale so some exaggeration was to be expected.

Or it could just be that they believed the figures were correct....at the time..
