Tough number to come up with.
What classifies "Neutral"? A Flag?
Then all the Bismarck would've had to do was fly a Swiss flag, all the way to New York, lower that, Raise the German flag, open fire, lower that and raise the Swiss flag and sail away?
Neutrals sailed with combatant convoys for protection, human shields?
The point is obvious "Fraud" (such as raiders/pirates), and hauling a bit of war goodie to help the balance sheets, and then screaming rape if you get attacked.
2,828 to submarines
820 to air attack
534 to mines
632 to other causes (weather/grounding/collision)
133 to raiders
104 to warships
99 to coastal whatever
5,150 total

My guess is 20% of that, or.....1030 but you say 3 didgits so....

899
