Masterof thelag Hey, that was entirely situational. The rebel fleet would’ve gotten their teeth kicked in if Palpatine let Death Squadron open fire. Besides that, if the Death Star hadn’t been there it would’ve been fine, and that was after it had been softened up by the rest of the rebel fleet.
There is also one interesting design flaw with that ship: Most of the AA defence wasn't able to get it's barrels lower than 10 Degrees, which made it possible for the Torpedo bombers to fly in at low altitude with relatively little resistance.

Ship : Yamato Built by : Yamata Commanded by : Yamamato Also called : Yayamato Edit: *[insert an obligatory "thank you for **_____** likes" comment here]*
Even noticing that the Yamato and Musashi battleships were that of little use in the war the Americans still feared their power and capability of what they COULD do. It was proved when the Yamato blasted the US carrier from 20 miles out; they simply didn't want to take the chance of any surface vessels fighting the Yamato so damn near the WHOLE carrier fleet dove upon the ship without mercy.
Yeah despite the limited action, the implied capabilities on board those ships was insane. The guns on Yamato could fire beyond the visible horizon. Imagine seeing a lone scouting plane and then getting hit with those giant shells without the plane even coming near you.
It should also be noted the Japanese were some of the leaders in carrier design and doctrine, usually the single faceted narrative about the Pacific war talks about how Japan focused on battleships and the US focused on carriers, but in reality both of these navies were far more complex and both sides understood to some extent the value of carriers early on.
The downside to massive super ships is that they are large and expensive, meaning you generally don't want to risk losing it, meaning its rarely used. It also means its a massive target for the enemy, so they will basically focus solely on the one ship until its down.
That's why their biggest mistake was not building two smaller ships for the price of the Yamato. Fortunately, their allies made the same dumb mistake with the Tirpitz. And just like the Yamato, the Germans were reluctant to use Tirpitz because it was "too special." The British got impatient and deployed entire divisions of bombers with a customized bomb designed specifically to sink it and that's exactly what they did on the 12th of Nov 1944.
It's called "Fleet in Being" doctrine and it's the only choice the Axis had with their navies as they could never compete with the industrial output of the Allies. They instead built massive threatening ships that the enemy would have to divert resources to keep tabs on.
who would win: the biggest battleship ever build with biggest gun ever put in battleship and hundred of aa gun or some weird looking bird Edit: Damn, 2 years ago. Time sure flies.
_Shinano,_ in particular, was kept so secret and got out so little that literally only two photographs of the ship are known to exist; one of these was a photo of _Shinano_ in the dock taken from a high-altitude U.S. reconnaissance aircraft, while the other was taken by a sailor (not one from _Shinano)_ during her sea trials.
@@metaknight115 Which was a stroke of luck for his captain, since thanks to that mission the Archerfish became the submarine that sank more boats per tons
As an American, I have to give respect to Yamato and her sister ship. They were absolutely beautiful, and I wish that they could have been preserved after the war.
Damp potato #36 There's a museum in Japan which has the quite a size for you to look at. Trust me, they do have the blueprints till this day. The ship is mad beautiful architecturally.
thye actually have a scaled down model of the yamato in a museum in japan. It’a pretty huge for a “minature” model but that’s the closest thing we can get to seeing a preserved yamato.
I don't think she would preserve as a museum ship even if she survived the war. Look at the Nagato she was probably the only battleship survived through the whole war and even sailed aside US battleship but it was used for nuclear test.
Yamato and Musashi were both major threats. Took a lot more munitions than it should've to put them down. Still, IF they'd surrendered after our victory, it'd be interesting to explore them
The Shinano was supposed to be the last of the yamato class ships but it was turned into an aircraft carrier at the last second when the hull was being completed
Yamato took 12 bomb and 7 torpedo hits within two hours of battle. While her Sister ship Musashi Hit by approximately 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs, she sank about four hours after the last hit.
The Yamato and Musashi had a System where they Flooded the Opposite With water so the Ship wont be tilted after getting a Hit with a Torpedo. Americans New about it after the Battle with Musashi so they Only Attacked the Backboard Side of the Yamato so the Flooding system came to its limit Quicker.
There is a picture of a chunk of the 26" armor from Shinano with a 16" hole clean through it. The 16"/50s and 16"/45s of the American Fast Battleships were more than sufficient to take out the Yamato class. The US battleships were also faster and could control the range of the engagement. But that was a moot point after the Helldivers and Avengers got done.
@@metaknight115 you realize the iowas had almost the exact same penetration as yamato’s 18 inch guns from most ranges, except the iowas could reload faster
@@cat-tj1xk A) I believe they had the same reload time B) I’ve heard that fact about the Iowa is false, as there have been articles disproving it and the only source I’ve heard claiming it’s true is Naval Legends, a somewhat unreliable source
They couldn't afford the gas. Literally. That was the biggest reason. Yamato's engines were gigantic, and since Japan was short of oil, and the chance of actually getting a worthwhile engagement with American surface ships was small, she stayed in port. The other problem was American Submarines, which tended to torpedo large Japanese warships with annoying frequency. In fact, that is what happened to the one the video mentioned getting turned into a carrier. They built it, launched it, sailed it out of the harbor they built it in, and a submarine immediately torpedoed it and sank it. She had a service career of 10 days.
Well thats was the mentality for every dreadnought ever built. They were too goddamn expensive to build and everybody was to afraid to lose them so nobody ever used them. In a lot of cases, they were just built to win the war on paper.
Mad Bear Gamer imagine if she had survived the war in relatively good condition. She would have made a beautiful museum ship. What i would give to walk on its deck...
Sadly, a good portion of the captured ships that survived the war ended their days in the nuclear bomb tests off bikini atoll like the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.
I think the only Japanese warship that survived is the Mikasa and it's a museum ship. The rest either got sunk in the war or got nuked in the Bikini Atoll tests.
You know you're doomed when: Snow speaks Finnish Trees speaks Vietnamese Mountains speaks Filipino Beaches speaks German Corpses speaks Russian Oceans and seas speaks Japanese
who would win: 1. The proud of the Japanese Navy, which is also the ship with the largest on a ship mounted weapons ever. Besides it has also an impressive compliment of AA guns and the best armor of it's time. 2. Some american flyi bois
Groovy Ninja And also if Japan didn't sink those battleships in Pearl Harbor, the US may not have been forced to embrace a new naval tactics with carriers as the core and force projectors.
Huge might be an overstatement. They would have definitely been good for bluffing and making the US think twice about decisions, but the US believed (rightfully so) that their battleships could handle the Yamato-class
Aereto Japan's mission in Pearl Harbor was not just to sink the battleships, but also the aircraft carriers. You could say they got lucky or the war would've been much longer if their carriers were there
Groovy Ninja Bro, even with all the technology in modern aircraft the different navies/ships still and always have played a HUGE role in all significant wars.
@@Egg0tistic4L bruhhh......your math.... 1t=1000kg. 69t=69000kg 69,420t=69420kg 69420-69000=420kg 420:1000=0,420 tones would be needed to reach 69,420tonnes not 420 tones of marrijuana. 420 tonnes of weed is more than 4 times the battleship's tonnage. were you high when you did the math? when you add you go after the comma. you don't add a full 420 tones to reach 69 and 420tonnes. you add less than a tonne for that. 420 weed tonnes would be enough for a full battlegroup of yamato style ships. 6 more yamato ships could be made from 420 tonnes
*Whoosh* But technically there is such thing as cheating in a war. Using chemical weapons, nukes, inhumane weapons (Meant only to cause suffering), etc. IE: BReaking the Geneva convention can be seen as cheating in war
Caelo de Vorago that’s not cheating that’s breaking and agreed upon set of guidelines mostly designed to stop unnecessary suffering. Better tactics and out thinking your opponent to maximize your strengths and and their weaknesses for a fight making sure you obliterate them with minimal loses isn’t cheating, it’s just being good at war.
actually the size of battleships like the yamato class ships would make torpedo sinking surprisingly slow if they can seal off stairs and rooms and not get fucked up by some white people in blue tubes with torpedos
Why they didn't made system can destroy the torpedoes or something like that? Or can they make battleships more speed and low weight to dodge torpedoes?
They _all_ look so used to yet so done with the frequent occurence of little torpedoes being just a minor convienence to the ship itself, but keeping her in docks frequently
Germany had the bismarck which Was also a super heavy superior (at least it Was supposed to be) battleship like the yamato but it Was at least a bit lore successful and Was used more....not by much tho :D
@@me_ca136 …. The building and operation of both the Bismark and the Yamato were a waste of valuable wartime resources better spent. In the pacific air power was ascendent. Germany warships larger than a destroyer were a waste to Germany. Japan needed a large navy. Germany needed a large U-Boat fleet.
At least Bismarck actually accomplished something, sinking HMS Hood and temporarily diverting a large portion of the RN, all the Yamato did was be an inefficient troop transport, run away from Taffy 3, and get spanked by American aircraft.
@@metaknight115 It (probably) sunk a Casablanca class carrier, the Gambier Bay. Casablancas are not Yorktown class carriers like the Enterprise. Casablancas like the Gambier Bay were very small and not designed for surface warfare. They were auxilliary ships who were supposed to stick close to the big ships like the Iowa class battleships or the Yorktown carriers for protection from surface ships, as well as to specialize in anti-submarine warfare. Had it faced a Yorktown carrier like the Enterprise in a proper battle, She probably would sunk the Yamato easily. Because as it is, the Yamato took over three hours to sink Gambier Bay, who didn't even have the equipment for surface warfare, only anti-sub operations.
Years later, the Yamato would rise to fight again, this time to journey across space to Iscandar in the Large Magellanic Cloud to save Earth from deadly radiation bombs.
Japanese Aircrafts:"Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru! " American Warship:"WHAT?!" *Attack on Pearl Harbor* Later American aircrafts:"You're already dead!" Yamato:"NANI!" *Yamato sinks*
Same for the German warships. The ship designs of Bismarck, Tirpitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Prinz Eugen, etc. are great but all of them went below the sea. Btw, Bismarck's story is way more interesting than Yamato's.
It's a waste of resource and a waste of time Many have already realize that Future of naval warfare depend on carrier and it's aircraft not a battleship
TheGaming Crocodile not really if it were to survived the Taffy 3 assault, it was predicted that U.S will sent it’s 2 powerful super battleships and massive torpedoes medium battleship. U.S that time was forcing their industries so basically when it comes to Naval power. Japan had no chance.
Who would win: The Pride of the Japanese fleet, led by the Yamato. or Taffy 3, a rag tag group of destroyers and escort carriers assigned to babysit a beach.
But Taffy 3 and her escorts were utterly devastated by the Battle off Samar. Its difficult to consider the battle as anything other than a turkey shoot for the Japanese against turkeys who got very lucky weather that allowed them to escape.
@@Ajourneyofknowing and apparently you can't take a joke. But the creators of the show taught us how much value the Japanese people value this ship. The original show looked at the ship as a character itself. While the refuted Ameriicanized version renamed Starblazers focused on the crew. The Japanese honor the Yamato very highly. I made my original comment months ago and you are just now responding to it?
This was admiral Yamamoto’s Command ship during the battle of midway... And other battles, it’s sister ship. The IJN Musashi, sank in my country, Philippines, Leyte gulf. The Yamato finally sank in the battle of Okinawa.
AS a kid in the 60's, we climbed all over the USS TEXAS, moored at the Houstn ship channel. The 3 inch deck guns were still in place back then and they moved around so as kids , we targeted and SANK every big ship that went through the ship channel =) We tallied over 3 million tons of shipping and all received decorations!!!
Well actually they were on a suicide mission so there were less escort and if American code beakers didn't found out about the attack they would be doomed
jose costa: At the time of her commissioning, Bismarck was the most powerful warship on the face of the Earth, followed by her sister ship Tirpitz. Both eclipsed in a year as Yamato would be commissioned, and a further year before Musashi was commissioned. What it took to best the Bismarck is nothing short of breath taking. Crippled by a single torpedo to the rudder, she was doomed. What happened next can only described as a firing squad as Bismarck was shot to pieces by four Royal Navy heavy units at POINT BLANK RANGE, then torpedoed by HMS Dorsetshire in an effort to finish her off, only to be scuttled by her own crew.
It appears back then, Shounen villains were in charge of Japan. Now they make fun of them through, well... Shounen anime. "KA, KA, KA! Its impossible for you to defeat me!" "Oh yeah? Well i got the power of friendship! RAAAAAHHH!!!" "Impossible!" Oddly enough, America did have a lot of friends during the war. Britain, The nation of pigs, that's France, by the way, Half of Europe, Most of Asia, and for a short period, the Bears of the north. Japan had Germany and Italy.
Dragan Tešić Haha, that's easy. The sinking of Yamato and Mushashi proved that naval battles are won by air superiority and no matter how many the AA guns were installed in the super BBs, they are unguidable and has less accuracy than the US' AA guns like the Bofors. So yeah, it's own AA's brought it down.
Dragan Tešić And what do you think carried those torpedoes that sunk the Yamato? It's US *AIRCRAFT*, so yeah the US aircrafts sunk the yamato. Don't tell me they just magically appear out of nowhere to sink the Yamato. Of course the Yamato can withstand bare aircraft with only machine guns.
Dragan Tešić Ok ok, I'm gonna stop now but the Yamato was supposed to be aircraft-proof and I believed that. But when I discovered that it's AAA guns were inaccurate, that triggered it's downfall in which it was sunk by more than a thousand aircraft if I'm correct. If the Yamato's AAA guns were accurate like the US AAs, it would be a nigtmare to sink that behemoth, haha ^-^

Even noticing that the Yamato and Musashi battleships were that of little use in the war the Americans still feared their power and capability of what they COULD do. It was proved when the Yamato blasted the US carrier from 20 miles out; they simply didn't want to take the chance of any surface vessels fighting the Yamato so damn near the WHOLE carrier fleet dove upon the ship without mercy.
Yeah despite the limited action, the implied capabilities on board those ships was insane. The guns on Yamato could fire beyond the visible horizon. Imagine seeing a lone scouting plane and then getting hit with those giant shells without the plane even coming near you.
It should also be noted the Japanese were some of the leaders in carrier design and doctrine, usually the single faceted narrative about the Pacific war talks about how Japan focused on battleships and the US focused on carriers, but in reality both of these navies were far more complex and both sides understood to some extent the value of carriers early on.
HellFire they really defended against those 2 nukes
haha lmao Japan = nukes amirite ))))
shutup weeb
The downside to massive super ships is that they are large and expensive, meaning you generally don't want to risk losing it, meaning its rarely used. It also means its a massive target for the enemy, so they will basically focus solely on the one ship until its down.
That's why their biggest mistake was not building two smaller ships for the price of the Yamato. Fortunately, their allies made the same dumb mistake with the Tirpitz. And just like the Yamato, the Germans were reluctant to use Tirpitz because it was "too special." The British got impatient and deployed entire divisions of bombers with a customized bomb designed specifically to sink it and that's exactly what they did on the 12th of Nov 1944.
It's called "Fleet in Being" doctrine and it's the only choice the Axis had with their navies as they could never compete with the industrial output of the Allies. They instead built massive threatening ships that the enemy would have to divert resources to keep tabs on.
Like a modern aircraft carrier?

As an American, I have to give respect to Yamato and her sister ship. They were absolutely beautiful, and I wish that they could have been preserved after the war.
Damp potato #36 There's a museum in Japan which has the quite a size for you to look at. Trust me, they do have the blueprints till this day. The ship is mad beautiful architecturally.
thye actually have a scaled down model of the yamato in a museum in japan. It’a pretty huge for a “minature” model but that’s the closest thing we can get to seeing a preserved yamato.
A shame indeed... actually, I wish all machines of War to be preserved for posterity, but unfortunately this isn’t her purpose
I don't think she would preserve as a museum ship even if she survived the war. Look at the Nagato she was probably the only battleship survived through the whole war and even sailed aside US battleship but it was used for nuclear test.
Yamato and Musashi were both major threats. Took a lot more munitions than it should've to put them down. Still, IF they'd surrendered after our victory, it'd be interesting to explore them
The Shinano was supposed to be the last of the yamato class ships but it was turned into an aircraft carrier at the last second when the hull was being completed

Yamato took 12 bomb and 7 torpedo hits within two hours of battle. While her Sister ship Musashi Hit by approximately 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs, she sank about four hours after the last hit.
Yamato took 6-7 bombs and 11-13 torpedoes before sinking.
The Yamato and Musashi had a System where they Flooded the Opposite With water so the Ship wont be tilted after getting a Hit with a Torpedo. Americans New about it after the Battle with Musashi so they Only Attacked the Backboard Side of the Yamato so the Flooding system came to its limit Quicker.

There is a picture of a chunk of the 26" armor from Shinano with a 16" hole clean through it. The 16"/50s and 16"/45s of the American Fast Battleships were more than sufficient to take out the Yamato class. The US battleships were also faster and could control the range of the engagement. But that was a moot point after the Helldivers and Avengers got done.
The shot was from point blank range
@@metaknight115 you realize the iowas had almost the exact same penetration as yamato’s 18 inch guns from most ranges, except the iowas could reload faster

What would you do if you had the biggest and strongest ship ever built?
Right never use it
Jesus Fistus Then ya send it on a suicide mission, the best strategy, clearly.
They couldn't afford the gas. Literally. That was the biggest reason. Yamato's engines were gigantic, and since Japan was short of oil, and the chance of actually getting a worthwhile engagement with American surface ships was small, she stayed in port. The other problem was American Submarines, which tended to torpedo large Japanese warships with annoying frequency. In fact, that is what happened to the one the video mentioned getting turned into a carrier. They built it, launched it, sailed it out of the harbor they built it in, and a submarine immediately torpedoed it and sank it. She had a service career of 10 days.
What would you if you had the biggest knife ever made but brought it to a gun fight?
Right, never use it.
Forget use, never build it
Well thats was the mentality for every dreadnought ever built. They were too goddamn expensive to build and everybody was to afraid to lose them so nobody ever used them. In a lot of cases, they were just built to win the war on paper.

Sadly, a good portion of the captured ships that survived the war ended their days in the nuclear bomb tests off bikini atoll like the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

Huge might be an overstatement. They would have definitely been good for bluffing and making the US think twice about decisions, but the US believed (rightfully so) that their battleships could handle the Yamato-class

Why they didn't made system can destroy the torpedoes or something like that?

@@metaknight115 It (probably) sunk a Casablanca class carrier, the Gambier Bay. Casablancas are not Yorktown class carriers like the Enterprise. Casablancas like the Gambier Bay were very small and not designed for surface warfare. They were auxilliary ships who were supposed to stick close to the big ships like the Iowa class battleships or the Yorktown carriers for protection from surface ships, as well as to specialize in anti-submarine warfare.
Had it faced a Yorktown carrier like the Enterprise in a proper battle, She probably would sunk the Yamato easily. Because as it is, the Yamato took over three hours to sink Gambier Bay, who didn't even have the equipment for surface warfare, only anti-sub operations.

So yeah, it's own AA's brought it down.
AdmiralMinecraft Normal ship need to get hited by one torpedoe and get sunked. Yamato get shoted by 12 torpedoes and get sunked
Dragan Tešić And what do you think carried those torpedoes that sunk the Yamato? It's US *AIRCRAFT*, so yeah the US aircrafts sunk the yamato. Don't tell me they just magically appear out of nowhere to sink the Yamato. Of course the Yamato can withstand bare aircraft with only machine guns.
Dragan Tešić Ok ok, I'm gonna stop now but the Yamato was supposed to be aircraft-proof and I believed that. But when I discovered that it's AAA guns were inaccurate, that triggered it's downfall in which it was sunk by more than a thousand aircraft if I'm correct. If the Yamato's AAA guns were accurate like the US AAs, it would be a nigtmare to sink that behemoth, haha ^-^
