Lunga Point
At 17:12, a Yokosuka P1Y dove onto "Ommaney Bay", rupturing the fire mains and sparking a fire which quickly became untenable. She quickly sank, with the loss of 95 crewmen. Minutes after "Ommaney Bay" was hit, a second kamikaze dove towards "Lunga Point". Gunners on the battleship and cruiser , joined with anti-aircraft fire on "Lunga Point", tore the kamikaze apart. The flaming wreckage passed over her, about a hundred feet above her stern, showering her deck with metal fragments, which slightly wounded two men.
