I seem to remember responding to such a query a number of months ago where someone's grandfather on the Randolph was working on planes on the(hanger or flight )deck when the ship was hit by a kamikaze. Perhaps it was you -- perhaps not. I was on a ship anchored close to the starboard side of the Randolph in Ulithi harbor when she was hit. The plane roared just yards over our superstructure before hitting the Randolph. It happened just as it was getting dark. The kamikaze was reported to have come from the island of Yak -- an island that had been bypassed by U.S. forces. Fortunately the damage to the carrier was repaired and she made it to Okinawa in time to cover the landings and bombard the island.No US aircraft carriers were sunk by Kamikazi.
