Silent service losses, plus surface navy losses, account for about half of the WWII total, if memory serves. The Tomb of the Unknowns got its start after WWI if memory serves, because the remains were so mauled by the weapons of that time, and a lot of soldiers were blown to bits leaving no identifiable remains.
