When planning for battle against German forces, the US almost always over-estimated the German forces. When planning for battle against Japanese forces, the US almost always UNDER-Estimated Japanese forces. This was finally brought out into the open by US Navy Admiral Turner, after the USN's disasterious defeat at the Battle of Savo Island in 1942. See website: Battle of Savo Island (Admiral Turner's statement).
