The typhoon had claimed 790 American lives. Three destroyers were gone and several others severely damaged. Ninety-three castaways were rescued in the search operations after the storm. The highest mortality rate was among the crew of the Monaghan, of whom just six men survived. One hundred forty-six carrier aircraft had been destroyed or blown overboard, mostly from the CVLs. The Monterey, Cowpens, and San Jacinto were badly damaged and would require major overhauls.
