I always look for my Uncle Butch in footage of USS NEW MEXICO from june 1944..Its been long since I last looked,forget date but when the kamikaze struck the AA battery where many were lost,BUTCH CARPENETTI (Anthony) was one of the many killed in those 2 big attacks in june I think it was.Such a shame..Was 2 brothers lost,the other with Army,lent to first Marines having trouble on that miserable hill in Okinawa.LEO C was lost there.5 brothers served,all Navy but Leo,Leo and Anthony lost.RIP to all the brothers...

U.S.S New Mexico was hit by kamikaze at Okinawa, I believe the bridge was hit killing the Captain and men on the bridge.
