Kamikazes
our article “Death Before Dishonor” [by Jon Guttman, January 2020] was very good. I was surprised you didn’t mention SS , a Liberty ship hit by a kamikaze on Dec. 28, 1944. An ammo ship, it was obliterated when struck. My father, Lt. Thomas J. Woods, was an officer aboard when was hit. He told us about how rough that particular convoy run was and explosion. Two of his men were hit by debris when it exploded. You can watch a video on YouTube.
