Uncle killed by kamikaze 1945

My uncle was killed in 1945 by a kamikaze while serving on a mine sweeper (DD/DMS). I think that he was killed during the fighting for Okinawa. I am trying to find out the name of the ship and the date he was killed. I don't know if the ship was sunk or not. His name was Virgil Ranft. I was nine years old at the time, and unfortunately all who would remember, are long gone. Would appreciate any help.
