All warships lost with all hands, but not in combat, will be in the super-category Category:Warships lost with all hands, so combat losses should not be in that category, since one can come here (listed as a sub-category there) to get to them. However, I don't have a strong feeling on that being a super-category of this one, as opposed to a sibling category; logically, that's a super-set of this one, which is why I arranged it that way, but if people want to change that, I don't have any major objection (although I would like to have them kept separate).

I wonder whether it's worth having a 'Warships lost in combat with almost all hands' category? There are quite a few with only single-digit number of survivors: HMS Hood (3 survivors) is surely the most famous in this group, but there are quite a few others: USS Asheville (PG-21) (1 survivor); USS Edsall (DD-219) (several, apparently all executed after capture). Any more I think of, I'll add here. HMS Neptune (20) (30 out of 767 survived the sinking, but only 1 lived to rescue). Japanese battleship Yamashiro (10 survivors).
