For the April 1945invasion of Okinawa (Allied codename: OperationIceberg), theAllies assembled the most powerful naval force in history. Since the few remaining capital ships of theImperial JapaneseCombined Fleet had been sunk or otherwise put out of action at theBattle of Leyte Gulf, the Allies were effectively unopposed in terms of major surface vessels; asingle mission consisting of the superbattleshipYamato and a few escorts was undertaken, but the task force did not get within 200nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) of the invasion area. The main Japanese naval opposition within the invasion area came from hundreds of Imperial Japanese NavyShin'yō-class suicide motorboats and Maru-Ni Imperial Japanese Army attack boats.
Since the Japanese air arm had been equally decimated by this point in the war, the lack of trained and experienced pilots led them to deploy thekamikaze extensively in the waters offOkinawa.

The roles of Commander in Chief,Pacific Ocean Areas (CINCPOA) andCommander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CINCPAC) were both exercised by AdmiralChester W. Nimitz from his headquarters atPearl Harbor,Hawaii.
Since the "Big Blue Fleet" was at this time under the command of AdmiralRaymond Spruance aboard his flagshipUSS Indianapolis, the force was designatedFifth Fleet. (It had been Third Fleet until Spruance relieved AdmiralWilliam Halsey in January, as part of the "alternating command" system).
The ships and troops of OperationIceberg were under direct operational command of Rear AdmiralRichmond Kelly Turner aboard amphibious command shipEldorado.
Son of aConfederate army general, Lt. Gen.Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. was one of four US lieutenant generals to die duringWorld War II, but the only one to die by enemy action. On 18 June, Buckner was visiting a forward observation post when a Japanese artillery shell struck a coral outcropping, fragments of which struck Buckner in the chest. Command of Tenth Army passed to Marine Maj. Gen. Roy S. Geiger.

The following table lists the Allied naval vessels that received damage or were sunk in the Battle of Okinawa between 19 March – 30 July 1945. The table lists a total of 147 damaged ships, five of which were damaged by enemy suicide boats, and another five by mines. One source estimated that total Japanese sorties during the entire Okinawa campaign exceeded 3,700, with a large percentage kamikaze, and that the attackers damaged slightly more than 200 Allied vessels, with 4900 naval officers and seamen killed and roughly 4,824 wounded or missing.[6][7] TheUSS Thorton is not listed as it was damaged as the result of a collision with another US ship. Those ships in a pink background, and with an asterisk were sunk or had to be scuttled due to irreparable damage. Of those sunk, the majority were relatively smaller ships; these included destroyers of around 300–450 feet. A few small cargo ships were also sunk, several containing munitions which caught fire. Those ships whose names are preceded by a "#" pound sign were scrapped or decommissioned as a result of damage.
