The Last Signal
From Commander-in Chief Fifth Fleet to Fifth Fleet Pacific:
THE WAR WITH JAPAN WILL END AT 1200 ON 15TH AUGUST (STOP) IT IS LIKELY THAT KAMIKAZES WILL ATTACK THE FLEET AFTER THIS TIME AS A FINAL FLING (STOP) ANY EX-ENEMY AIRCRAFT ATTACKING THE FLEET IS TO BE SHOT DOWN IN A FRIENDLY MANNER (STOP)

Re: The Last Signal
This may be a dumb question -- what exactly did Spruance* mean when he said to shoot down kamikaze in a "friendly manner"? How do you do that?
* The head of 5th Fleet at that time was Raymond Spruance, right?
