The battleship Missouri about to be hit by a Japanese A6M "Zero" kamikaze, while operating off Okinawa on 11 April 1945. Fortunately for the 40 mm quad gun crew in the lower foreground the plane hit the ship's side below the main deck, causing no more than a small dent in the thick armor and a long scratch in the paint. The kamikaze pilot in the photo has been identified as either Flight Petty Officer 2nd Class Setsuo Ishino or Flight Petty Officer 2nd Class Kenkichi Ishii. U.S. Navy photo
