On the 25th of October 1944, Japan launched its first organized kamikaze attack during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in World War II, with pilots deliberately crashing planes into Allied ships. Named after the "divine wind" that saved Japan from Mongol invasions in 1274 and 1281, the tactic aimed to reverse defeats by maximizing damage through suicide missions. Over 3,800 pilots died in such strikes from 1944 to 1945, sinking or damaging around 400 U.S. vessels, including carriers like the USS Bunker
