It was also the losses from Okinawa due to fire from Kamikazes if I remember the lecture correctly. They showed us a film in training, I think it was called Trial by Fire.

My grandfather was on a tin can at Okinawa. His ship was hit by a suicide boat. He said the threat of kamikazes scared the heck out of him and he preferred being below deck during combat.
