The U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier USS Cabot (CVL-28) is hit by a kamikaze, while operating with Task Group 38.2 off Luzon, 25 November 1944. When Japan was facing defeat in late 1944 it chose to destroy US ships with suicide bombings, known as Kamikaze.These attacks were a potent physical and psychological weapon and sunk a total of 47 ships at a cost of more than 3000 pilots and planes. By late 1944 the US Navy was large enough that the losses were insignificant and they did not alter the course of the war.
