Description: The first page of a naval message received by Commander, Task Force 38, providing details of kamikaze attacks against U.S. Navy ships on November 25, 1944. One month after the sinking of the escort carrier St. Lo (CVE 63), the message reflects the coordinated tactics of the kamikazes and the difficulty of thwarting all of the attackers even with combat air patrol and antiaircraft fire.
