Per "The Last Great Battle of - Bloody Okinawa" by Wheelan:
"The Japanese fell short of their goal of "one plane one ship," but sank 36 American warships, and damaged 368 other vessels at Okinawa. The Navy's losses were the highest of the Pacific war: 4,907 sailors and officers killed, and 4,824 wounded. Japan lost an estimated 1,600 suicide and conventional planes at Okinawa."
