USS Missouri Kamikaze Attack
On April 11, 1945, a Japanese A6M "Zero" Kamikaze
flew into the side of the USS Missouri Battleship
while it was operating off the coast of Okinawa.
The plane hit the side of the ship, just below the
main deck, causing a shower of debris on the deck.
There was only minor damage to the ship and no casualties among the ship's
crew. Visitors touring the USS Missouri Battleship today
in Honolulu's Pearl Harbor, can still view the dents in the side
of the ship and there is a sign telling the
story of the Kamikaze attack.
