Thats because I was quoting specifically the Japan vs USA Pacific War losses, not their entire Naval Power.
I saw that chart too, and quite honestly that makes their plight even more desperate. Having being outclassed in tonnage alone to the tune of roughly 8:1 by the USA alone is a drastic statistic that was superseded by the fact that again, their forces were divided and their war was on multiple fronts.
Just because you have 16 carriers, doesn't mean all the carriers are fighting in a single battle, or even in the same war.
In the Current War with Iraq, the USA never tasks more than 3 offensive Carriers to the Persian Gulf at any one time. Other carriers are stationed elsewhere with other duties and other missions aside from just that one conflict.
One of my quotations is yes a Wikipedia article, but also from

Never quote directly from Wikipedia, read the sources as well. The context you missed so obviously by finding a simple contradictory table was proved irrelevant through use of proper data and research.
Edit: added a single word.
