USS Ommaney Bay (CVE 79)

[edit]

Please consider adding the USS Ommaney Bay to this narrative. The Ommaney Bay exploded and sank after being hit by a kamikaze attack, in the Sulu Sea off Luzon, during the Lingayen Operation, 4 January 1944. Allegrabiaggi (talk) 19:46, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with the page

[edit]

I noticed this battle if wrongly placed in the pacific theatre section on the right side of the page. Its listed under the 1941-1942 philipinness campaign instead of 1945. No idea how to correct that myself so if anyone is willing.

Maybe too much about kamikazes?

[edit]

I can't help but notice that the kamikaze section in this article is about two-thirds the length of the entire kamikaze article elsewhere in Wikipedia, and this excludes the mentions and discussions of kamikaze attacks outside that section, which are numerous and lengthy. Perhaps things like "kamikaze training" and the comparisons of kamikaze success rates could be deferred to the kamikaze-specific article; as it is, the article gets the reader onto the beach at Lingayen, there to sit watching Japanese aircraft smack into US warships until the commemoration section. Where's the aftermath section, or the land casualties? (No, the Battle for Luzon casualties don't count.)
