kamikaze how many ships sunk
There is another similarity with these two warsâfanaticism and suicide tactics. While Japan apparently did not use suicide tactics at Pearl Harbor, we know of their use of the Kamikaze later in the war. One historian stated that by the end of WWII: 7,465 Kamikazes flew to their deaths; 120 US ships were sunk, with many more damaged 3,048 allied sailors were killed and anther 6,025 wounded Although there may be some question about the exact numbers, the damage done by Kamikazes is almost unbelievable.
