The goal of Japanese Kamikaze suicide pilots was to crash their planes (often filled with explosives and gasoline) into American ships in attempts to cause as much damage as possible. Kamikaze strategy had some benefits opposed to the conventional dropping of bombs or torpedoes. Kamikaze attacks had a higher success rate, and could deliver a larger explosive payload.
A successful kamikaze attack against a small force of ships could hamper that force's operational capabilities. However, by 1945, the US fleet was large enough that kamikaze attacks, even successful ones, generally had little effect on fleets' overall operational capabilities.
