USS Laffey

This destroyer, which had been at the D-Day landings I visited lasts week, was involved in the largest kamikaze attack in history. It was patrolling north of Okinawa in April 1945 when it was attacked by about 50 Japanese planes. The men shot down many of the attackers but suffered four bomb hits and six kamikaze impacts. 

The tour starts with an experience in the gunning mount where 6 of 14 soldiers died when a kamikaze pilot made a direct hit. You can feel the guns shake in the movie and it's quite an experience as they reenact what happened that morning.
