This is what happend about.....67 years ago
Overall this was a bombing attack, there has been kamikaze planes for japan.
Let there be kamikaze planes........
*Edit* If about 180 planes attacked the battleships and the aircraft cariers, shouldnt the aircraft bombs be less powerful? plus, ive seen bombers with multiple bombs...
