12 ships, 49,463 tons (two were small vessel often not included in sinkings)

JANAC - 10 ships, 49,861 tons. Note that the criteria JANAC used included all Japanese Naval vessels (although JANAC did not usually count warships less than 500 tons that were converted from merchant ships) and all Japanese merchant vessels of 500 or more gross tons known or believed to have been lost during the war. Differences between JANAC figures and current research are noted above.

Alden-McDonald credit Silversides with 11 ships and 49,333 tons sunk.

SORG credits Silversides with 12 ships and 72,300 tons sunk, plus 6 ship damaged, 30,900 tons.

Wrecksite credits Silversides with 12 ships and 55,153 tons sunk.
