    The Yamato battleship is the pinnacle of the battleship type. The biggest battleship in the world, and the best known Japanese Navy ship. Sadly remembered for her defeat in her last battle against 227 American aircraft, which became a demonstrative execution and ended with the giant being defeated and the hopes of the Japanese command crashed.
    Built in secret, and at great expense, she emerged as the largest battleship in history.
    Born to terrify her enemies, she'd cost eight billion USD to build in today's dollars. She represents the pinnacle of battleship building, but launched at a key turning point in naval warfare history. The rise of aircraft-based naval combat left her immensely powerful, but ill-equipped to fight sustained air attacks. Still, nothing captures the imagination of naval aficionados quite like Yamato. There's a mountain of knowledge just below the surface. Press "Play!"

    I am from Japan but I live in Australia since 1957. I remember it was raining when I saw my father come home for only 1 hour. I was 14. We just stared at each other. He smiled for a second. My mother also stared. I knew to leave the room but I kept looking from behind the curtain. My father, Yamato mechanic, left quickly. Few days later we learned of his passing from that battle. My mother told me when I married that my father came to say goodbye that night. Only those words were spoken. They sat and ate together for that hour. My mother never cried. she never slept in her bed again until she died. Never moved from that old small home in Hataka. Died from the radiation years later. They are together I know in my heart. Soon I will see them together again.

      The mighty & current British aircraft carrier, Queen Elizabeth --- with over 2 dozen F-35s and helicopters on it ---- only has a displacement of 65,000 tons!

    I'm Japanese, and I think 1:40 ~ is very misleading. Japan never believed in the Yamato in her final mission. She only had fuel for one way, no aircarft to protect her. It was a Kamikaze mission. It was the last cry, knowing she would be sunk.
    If Yamato, the pride of the IJN, surrendered before any real action, it would have been an embarrassment to the navy.

      ​@@fredricunderhill204 It was a source of pride, for sure. But Japan knew the aircraft game before anyone; It was Japan who created the first battlegroup centered around an aircraft carrier, after her battleship numbers were limited in the Washington treaty.
      The irony, is that while the Japanese proved the superiority of the aircraft, and demonstrated the foolishness of war ships operating without fighter cover by sinking Prince of Wales and Repulse in '42, by April '45, with their carrier forces destroyed and shore based air corps decimated, the IJN sent the Yamato to Okinawa without air cover ...where she met the same fate as the Prince of Wales.

      We agree. Yamamoto saw the strength and tactical value of carrier based aircraft as did U. S. General Billy Mitchell. However top brass are often opposed to changing tactics. After all, their tactics got them promoted 20 years ago. The attack on Pearl Harbor was shortened as the U. S. carriers were out to sea.
      By "archers" I reference the defeats of the Spartans to the Persians and later the Greeks, the English in 1066, ineffective artillery at Pickett's Charge and others.
      The IJN used all their "archers", submarines, type 93 torpedoes, kiaten torpedoes and kamikaze aircraft well. The USN were at a disadvantage until late 1942 into 1943 when Yamamoto's prediction and fear of American production ability and adaptive ability proved accurate.

      The video itself is very cheap, basically a hype video for a ship to get you excited about it and play the game. But I don't think there was any correct information in that video on it besides the name... Actually the name translation was also wrong... Also calling it "the largest battleship" is a bit of a stretch... I mean the largest battle ship in history is the US Nimitz class Aircraft carrier, I guess you technically can't call it a battle ship, you need to technically have guns for it to call it a battle ship... but I mean it's a war ship, and you use it in battles, just not a close range, but long range ( range of an aircraft on that ship) ,but still a bit manipulative in my eyes...

      @@metaknight115 I understand that concept , hence why I mentioned it , if you actually read my original message. Though I can easily challenge those definitions. As technically the largest battle ship that I personally admire is Nimitz Class , aircraft carrier. And after that there are Russian battleships of Orlan class i. e. "Pyotr Velikij" battleship as it's technically more versatile and more powerful and more advanced than Yamato... Only then you could place Yamato at the third place... At least for me. It's a nice ship and concept, but nothing about it speaks " the best" , just a large battle ship with big conventional caliber guns... It's not even the most guns as Manowar type class battle ships had more guns than Yamato... In my classification of large cool ships it would definitely trail at like 4th or 5th place, again not impressive to me as other battle ships, yet in that video they somehow hyped it up like it was the best, when in fact it didn't do anything at all and failed miserably, some nice features on a large ship, but nothing impressive.

    Germany and Japan both had these extremely powerful Battleships that outclassed anything the allies could throw at them. But both made the same mistake. They sent them out with only a small escort. Bismarck only had 1 heavy Cruiser, and Yamato only had a small handful of escorts. Imagine what they could have done in the battles that destroyed them had they had a full strike force with Subs, Destroyers, and Cruisers.

    Forty-two years ago, in 1979, there used to be this cartoon “Starblazers” that dealt with an ancient battleship Yamato. It was converted to a space ship called the “Argo,” and was sent 148,000 light years and back in just one earth year to save the earth. This ship was equipped with a “wave motion gun,” along with many other armaments.

    I remember training and being used to train special combat teams. We had to rig a house (training hut) that they were going to breach at some stage there was three short hallways to various rooms. Our Sgt came into the building with a box and in it was some spools of 60lb fishing line and about 50 1in fishing hooks. We rigged the halls according to his instruction. As the highly trained team approached us they were surprised when we pulled on 20 lines containing stringed hooks lifting them among their rank and the dancing hooks grabbed at their clothing and gear leaving them exposed in the hallway and they more they shifted about the more they became entangled. By pulling on the anchors (pieces of broom handle) and we were able to pull them over. The allied forces built monsters to carry flies and the Yam got caught in the hooks.

      Iowa's best chance at victory would be a hit and run strategy. She could try her best to sneak up on Yamato, and hope her radar doesn't detect her, and hit and either sink or heavily damage Yamato before she could fire back. However, the second Yamato would return fire, her best chance at survival would be to run, as Yamato's accurate 18.11 inch guns could easily slide through Iowa's weak armor, and could potentially one shot the Iowa with a lucky shot.

    A year ago when I started playing that game (that I do my best not to mention to often around WoWS players), I thought I had developed an interest in warships and naval history as a result of some misguided delusion. It turns out, odd as it may be, it wasn't destructive, nor was it anything new.
    I recently found an encyclopedia of ships dating back to 95, when I was in kindergarden.
    I grew up visiting the Massachusetts every summer and hearing stories of the Axis ships from those who fought them.
    After I started playing, I came to a point where I decided to admit it to my father, and feared that he wouldn't approve of me playing due to the nature and content of it.
    It turns out he built several ship models in his youth including Bismarck and Missouri, but his pride and joy above all others was Yamato, which he considered the most beautiful battleship ever built. He also inadvertently inspired my love of anime.
    So I've always had this connection. It just took an unlikely source to remind me of it.
    Ever since I've had this rediscovery of the love I had as a kid playing on the decks of my ships, like I understand them better for walking a mile in their enemies' shoes.

    「真実の戦艦大和」p53では四連装砲塔については「辻褄合わせ」とのこと。
    「雑誌」ではないけど「大和型戦艦2」p69に該当する箇所とおぼしき記述が…以下
    「さて、「藤本案」の主砲一ニ門の配置だが、これを三連装四砲塔に分かつとニ九〇メートルの全長のうち二〇〇メートル近いものとなり搭載は不可能に近い。
    そこで、四連装三砲塔となる。
    (当然、第三砲塔は後ろ向き)」
    とある。
    別ページに四連装砲塔案の推定図もある。
    買った当時、すごく興奮したけど
    砲塔作れるのか?
    砲塔旋回にどれくらい時間かかるのか?
    砲弾の装填にどれくらいかかるのか?
    色々気になってきた…。
    とりあえず「真実の戦艦大和」
    とても面白い本だったよ!!
    (楽しくなってきて以下余談)
    「もし『金剛代艦』が建造されたら!?」
    (と言う妄想…)
    ロンドン軍縮会議の結果
    やっぱり代艦建造オッケーになる‼
    金剛代艦建造開始!!
    52.5口径41センチ砲9門、26ノット。
    第一艦隊向け「戦艦」。
    38000トンなのは内緒。
    その後すったもんだで軍縮条約脱退!!
    そのため金剛代艦3番艦で打ち切り決定
    3番艦は改設計のち竣工
    第二艦隊「今度こそ重高戦よこせ!!」
    軍縮条約脱退による新設計の戦艦建造開始
    46センチ砲9門、31ノット
    防御は対16インチ砲防御
    第二艦隊向け「高速戦艦」
    さらに、金剛代艦45口径46センチ連装砲に順次換装
    (おはようございます。遠藤昭です。)
    太平洋戦争勃発!!
    その時点の新戦艦
    金剛代艦「大和」「武蔵」「飛騨」第一艦隊
    高速戦艦「生駒」「鞍馬」第二艦隊
    高速戦艦三番艦建造停止
    「生駒」「鞍馬」
    第一艦隊じゃないので走りまわる。
    第三次ソロモン海戦
    第一夜
    「生駒」米巡洋艦により中破
    第ニ夜
    「鞍馬」米戦艦により中破
    米戦艦「サウスダコタ」を爆沈
    (一説には第三砲塔バーベット貫徹の一撃による)
    隠れていた「ワシントン」を発見、撃破。
    が、自らも被弾。
    マリアナ沖海戦
    「鞍馬」小破
    レイテ沖海戦
    第一遊撃部隊
    「大和」「武蔵」「飛騨」「生駒」「鞍馬」
    スリガオ海峡海戦
    「山城」「扶桑」「長門」沈没
    さらに
    米空母機により「武蔵」撃沈
    サマール沖海戦
    「生駒」「鞍馬」米空母2隻撃沈
    レイテ沖海戦帰路
    「生駒」潜水艦により被雷、小破
    高速戦艦三番艦「笠置」、空母に改装。
    就役した「笠置」潜水艦により撃沈。
    「大和」沖縄特攻
    「生駒」「鞍馬」空母機により軍港で大破着底
    敗戦
    水爆実験により「飛騨」沈没
    戦争の帰趨に影響を与えられませんでした。と結論がでました…(汗)。
    あと、「サウスダコタ」と「ワシントン」がどんな戦艦になったか不明…。
    そう言えば(まだ余談続くらしい…)
    友人と議論になったことがある。
    友人「日本海軍が(広義の)軍艦の魚雷を戦艦に命中させたことないよね」
    オレ「いや、あるよ!!
    第三次ソロモン海戦で
    高雄と愛宕(と思った)の魚雷がアメリカの戦艦に命中してる!!
    直前で自爆しちゃったけど」
    わたしの説明が悪かったせいか友人に理解してもらえなかった。
    今なら更にこう言うとおもう。
    「戦艦を撃沈して何になる?」って。
    アメリカの戦艦撃沈したって、アメリカの飛行機は飛びまわって日本の軍艦も輸送船も片っ端から撃沈させられるよ。
    潜水艦も好きなように活動するよ。
    もう、第二次世界大戦においては戦艦は戦争の勝敗を決めるような「戦略兵器」ではないもの、と。

      I believe she was unfinished when she was sunk. Most crucially, her water tight doors were either not installed properly, or not installed at all, and when four torpedoes hit, there was no way to stop the entire ship from flooding

      Yep, the Japanese knew that Battleships is just not that effective anymore and the cost was just too much. They converted her to an aircraft carrier, but it was soo late into the war that, it basically change nothing really.

      Would have loved the opportunity. The highest achievement in Japanese society at that time was to fight and die in battle in defense of one's bloodline, people and nation. Millions of ancestral spirits were with the sailors before they died guiding them into the afterlife.
