Good story. It's hard to believe that plane didn't kill any US sailors. Those anti-aircraft gun positions were packed full of folks. I guess that illustrates that even though the kamikazes struck fear in our fleet, it wasn't a very effective military tactic. Like Patton said the idea is to make the other sob die for his country, not vice versa.

Morning CT. When I visited the USS MISSOURI. The dent in the armored belt is still visible. That's where I first heard the story about the Burial at sea story about the pilot.
