Iwo Jima had 318 casualties attributed to Kamikaze, while Okinawa was staggering. 36 ships sunk, almost 5,000 men killed as a direct result of Kamikaze attacks.


Could have been a lot worse and had more impact on the battle ashore if they had deliberately targeted the transports. Kamikaze pilots instinctively went after combat ships if they saw one.
