I have had a scary thought.
So, the Numenoreans have just created the massive army to attack Valinor and Ar-Pharazon has landed around Tuna, but the elves have deserted the city. And in the letter at the start of the Silmarillion Tolkien said,
Quote:

the Numenoreans could have wrought ruin in Valinor itself

Does that mean that the army which the men of Numenor wielded in their waxing was bigger/better than the very force of the Vanyar that destroyed Morgoth himself? How downright MASSIVE would this be????
Just imagine the possibilities!
Then again, it could just be that the Elves wished to shed no more blood in the Blessed Realm. Hmmmm.....
