Feldgrün Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 If he was carrying a bomb, it looks like it didn't detonate. Otherwise, he hit where he was planning to, right at the water line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzPig_EL Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Direct hit on the armor belt. If it had hit higher up on the hull, or on the superstructure it would have done more damage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) This famous image of a kamikaze strike on BB-63 always terrified me as a child, but I recently learned that it only made a small dent in the side, visible to this day, and nobody died except the attacking pilot.

Lusekofte Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It was a kawasaki ki 51 Sonia divebomber. And the bomb bounced off. So the impact did little to none damage it might have been different if the bomb had worked 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
343KKT_Kintaro Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Thank you for posting that. The photograph in the original post wasn't originally in colour, the photo had been colourised. A French guy recently made one video about that story (sorry, the video is in French): 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper117 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Don't be hasty... there are reasons why we have different threads covering various subjects. Just find one that matches the image you want to post... no need to be a drama queen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Kamikaze struck the side of the HMS Sussex, 1945 There don't seem to be a bomb otherwise we would have seen a paint trace (even not exploded) between the landing gear legs. It seems a VAL bomber that after having used its bomb finally ended up as a kamikaze trying to sink a ship. This is the kind of picture where one could wonder if it is not a fake one. Too clean, to precise. The wing is exactly as it is but this is a head on collision. There should be many traces all over. This is too crystal clear. Or the picture was taken after the side was already washed up and only the most penetrating traces of paint and metal remained. I still have some doubt. Interesting picture for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
