Did the Royal Navy lose ships to kamikaze attacks?
Short answerBritish and Australian ships were hit, but the examples checked here survived; armoured carriers could continue operating after attacks.
NotesBritish Pacific Fleet and Royal Australian Navy examples show why a hit did not necessarily mean a sinking. British armoured carriers such as Indefatigable and Formidable were hit and survived, with flight operations continuing. Australian ships including HMAS Australia and the Tribal-class destroyer Arunta also suffered damage. The comparison makes survivability and the consequences of damage more informative than simply counting successful impacts.
