5,000 killed by Kamikazes at Okinawa... Thanks for some excellent information and sources, Tim. From the The America Heritage, World War II: American and British seamen underwent their most fearsome trial by suicide planes during the Okinawa campaign. ...Thirty ships were sunk, and though none was larger than a destroyer, 368 were damaged including carriers and battleships, some put out of action for months. Almost 5,000 Navy men were killed. That was just months before the A-bombings.
