The use of kamikazes during World War II highlights the desperation and dwindling resources of the Japanese navy. As the war progressed, Japan faced significant losses and a shortage of capable pilots and aircraft, leading to the adoption of suicide tactics as a last resort. This reflects a shift from conventional naval warfare to a more extreme approach, indicating that the Japanese navy was struggling to maintain its effectiveness against overwhelming Allied forces. Ultimately, the reliance on kamikazes underscores the dire situation of Japan's military capabilities by the war's later stages.

Which Royal navy ship was sunk by kamikaze bomber?

Approximately 20 British warships and 4 or 5 support vessels were sunk by the Japanese in WWII. They all appear to have been sunk by conventional (traditional) methods: torpedos, gunfire, bombs, mines, but none from kamikazes. Certainly, no British carriers would've been lost to kamikazes...they had steel decks! US carriers had wooden decks. Except for the Midway class carriers (which entered the war too late to see action).
