Like I said, the big difference between Japan and Germany when it came to naval forces was simply that Japan had aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, giant submarines, ordinary submarines, and miniature submarines.
The Germans had a "pocket battleship or two", some cruisers, and a whole big bunch of ordinary submarines.
Both navies were destroyed, but the German fleet was destroyed utterly! It was also smaller than the Japanese fleet.
The Germans had two battleships [BISMARCK and TIRPITZ], two battlecruisers [SCHARNHORST and GNIESENAU], three “pocket battleships” [ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE, ADMIRAL SCHEER and DEUTSCHLAND, later LUETZOW], a flotilla of armed merchant raiders [ATLANTIS, THOR, PINGUIN, MICHEL, etc], heavy cruisers [PRINZ EUGEN, etc], light cruisers, some destroyers, two types of torpedo boat, and at least three classes of U-boat.
