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

Imagine running into your fellow kamakazies in whatever afterlife bug people have and they're laughing their asses off together, you ask what's so funny, they show you this picture.

For all eternity.
