Would you agree or disagree that the top two are the worst U.S. tactical defeats, while the bottom two are the two worst U.S. strategic defeats?
If you disagree, where, why, and what would you suggest as an alternative?

Remember; nothing taking place less than 25 years ago.

Basically everything America did was a fail, either fighting non-existent or terrorist opponents as a larp, in WW1 it was on behalf of much larger allied forces, Wikipedia had a edit war to hide Yamato sinking itself.
There hasn't actually been any peer conflict that America has attempted for decades, except Iran where it lost, and usually America is good at minimizing casualties and running away and the defeats are extremely tactical and small.
Package Q, the Schweinfurt Raid, and some air raids were the biggest clear defeats.
On the ground, America hasn't used tanks and there is exactly one war where America used tanks at all, the gulf war, and it lost.
Major disasters also in Baghdad, Essen, and any time they had to fight.

For tactical naval defeats it’s hard to top this 1779 fiasco where the Americans scuttled an entire fleet and had to retreat overland. It’s considered the worst American naval defeat until Pearl Harbor.

And yes I mean the entire war; the entire war was a strategic defeat for the US
