They touched our boats, so we made them touch the sun.

I think I read once that it was the Intrepid, but I’m only about 50/50 on that.
Just did a little looking, couldn’t find anything to back up my failing memory. But the Intrepid apparently took 4 Kamakaze attacks during the war so…?
I would completely shit myself in this situation
This is how my great uncle was killed. US Navy, March 1, 1942.
USS Ticonderoga (Essex-class aircraft carrier) and this was January 21, 1945. Kamikaze attacks started in 1944.
This is an Essex-class. Can’t find the source of the video though.
USS Ticonderoga. Survived the war. Wasn’t ready in time for Korea. Served in Vietnam. Scrapped in the late 70s I believe.
It’s that hard for gun to shot down those planes?
Praise the camera man
Absolutely terrifying..just like VBIED’s..
I feel like you could have put the actual name of the ship (USS Ticonderoga) in the title instead of going the lazy route and simply calling it by its generic term “US Navy vessel”.
What Japanese aircraft was that?, if anyone knows
Anakin: We’re going to use guided munitions
Padme: You mean like computers right?
Anakin: …
Padme: RIGHT?
Kamikaze planes were basically the same weapon as guided drones are today.
Effective, fast and hard to shoot down.
You did sacrifice a pilot for each, but the sheer amount of destruction they brought with them made it worth it for the Japanese.
