There is another similarity with these two warsâfanaticism and suicide tactics. While Japan apparently did not use suicide tactics at Pearl Harbor, we know of their use of the Kamikaze later in the war. One historian stated that by the end of WWII: 7,465 Kamikazes flew to their deaths; 120 US ships were sunk, with many more damaged 3,048 allied sailors were killed and anther 6,025 wounded Although there may be some question about the exact numbers, the damage done by Kamikazes is almost unbelievable.
The following is a list of how many people were killed on Dec. 7, 1941 as a result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. US Navy: 2,008 KIAUSMC: 109 KIAUS Army: 218 KIACivilâ¦ians: 68 Total: 2,403 Close to 2/3 of those who died occurred in the first 15 minutes of the battle when the Oklahoma, Utah and the Arizona were bombed. In addition, 55 Japanese died, in addition to an unknown number of Japanese wounded. The US had 1,178 personnel wounded.
