axis huge losses contrast the defender's u.s. losses

sometimes, the attacker loses huge losses. despite the big loss, does not stop for example japan. japanese warplanes attacked u.s. warships while u.s. was NUTRAL. the attacker japan, suffered suffered huge losses as demonstrated below. those 2 u.s. losses differ from the losses of japan , italy and nazi: a difference between the losses of 2 u.s. big ships in contrast to axis loss is the fact that u.s. was nutral not the "attacking side". the u.s. lost two huge battleships on december 7, 1941 arizona and oklahoma v while nutral not the attacking side. in contrast italy and japan joined the axis side that attacked poland. their losses can teach us not to attack.
we compare nutral u.s. " battleships “ARIZONA” and “OKLAHOMA” are total losses, three more sink but are later re-commissioned, and the remaining three damaged." at the time no ally battleships are in opertion for the jap war. by JULY 1942 u.s. had repaired some as above and sent one from atlantic and some new. totalling six by the coast of whitney mountain region. listed in endnote.
we contrast the loss of these two huge warships by noting u.s. was nutral at the time then we see the stats of the 3 aggressors:
1, nazi had only 2 large battleships. named Bismarck and Tirpitz excluding 2 smaller not real battleship class.  in 1941 when u.s. was still nutral brits sank bismarck this influenced nazis to cancel the planned battleships and to hide the remaining one which got sunk in 1944. even losing the second did not sway the nazi ATTACKER who had invaded poland, to surrender ending the loss of life... so they lost more.
2, italy joined the axis side with nazi the "aggressor" side. it had already "colonized" stealing libya and ethiopia. it joined nazi who had invaded poland. evil usualy succeeds but this time italy lost huge losses.
the source ww2db from the unreliable and flawed inaccurate wikipedia is incomplete not "six" battleships. however the reliable source tells the story:
  "in november 1940, on 11th, All **six battleships of the Italian Navy were at Taranto. That night two waves of Swordfish biplanes,  20 aircraft  hit "CONTE DI CAVOUR" and "CAIO DIULIO" with one torpedo each and the brand new "LITTORIA" with three. *three battleships sank. [in contrast to wiki and ww2db battle 102 from unreliable wikipedia]. "Cavour" was never recommissioned, all for the loss of just two Swordfish."
we see the aggressor lost 3 of six. such a huge loss could sway them to surrender but they continued and lost more lives.
this reliable source recorded the names of THREE that sank. the other three? i only know Giulio Cesare
 source?

a parallel version introducing japan's plan "NOVEMBER 1940, Fleet Air Arm Attack on Taranto - On the 11th in the Mediterranean, British carrier "Illustrious" launches a Swordfish torpedo biplane attack on the main Italian naval base. Of the six battleships present, the 20 aircraft hit "CONTE DI CAVOUR" and "CAIO DIULIO" with one torpedo each and the brand new "LITTORIA" with three. All three sink at their moorings and "Cavour" is never recommissioned, all for the loss of just two Swordfish. The Japanese Navy studies the attack carefully as Pearl Harbor learns to its cost just a year later."

3, in contrast when u.s. lost 2 battleships arizona and oklahoma the status was when nutral, not attacking japan.
4, what were the japanese huge losses? one warplane carrier was seriously damaged southwest from fly river isle called n.g. it returnd to home isles for repairs with its group. 
in june u.s. sank four w.c. of japan by midway isle. what about battleships?
during the first year of war against u.s. the aggressor, who attacked the u.s. soldiers only lost two battleships from twelve huge ones. not including the w.c. at midway battle. despite the significant lost most remained.
