Defense against the self-destroy-ing kamikaze has been so effective since its first organized appearance off Leyte last October that only one in 100 suicide pilots now crashes into an American ship, Mitscher said. No kamikaze has yet sunk an American carrier, battleship or cruiser, he said, and one destroyer was stil afloat after six direct hits, Mitscher has had plenty of personal experience with the “divine wind.” Kamikazes have bombed him off two carrier flagships. Some defenses against the kamlkaze are still searet, Mitscher sdid, but he listed others: Redesigning of some equipment; removal of “blind spots” and increased range of detection system; increased fighter cover; new gunnery methods and more guns; a more -flexible "and wider dispostion of “picket fences” of destroyers and fighter planes; knock-out blows on enemy airfields.
