In 1945 a Japanese pilot conducted a kamikaze attack on the cruiser HMS Sussex using a Mitsubishi Ki-51 "Sonia". The attack struck the cruiser above the waterline, leaving an 8' wide and 10" deep dent...along with a cartoonishly ineffective scorch mark.

A gif showing the original black and white photo, diagram of the cruiser and plane, as well as where it struck can be found here: http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad32/finno2/HMSSussexSoniaImpact_zpscjztik62.gif
