Yamato

Yamato

Yamato was the lead ship of her class of battleships for the Japanese Navy. Along with her sister ship Musashi, she was the largest and most heavily armed battleship ever built displacing 72,000 tonnes and being armed with nine 460mm guns.

Although often used as the fleet’s flagship, her only surface action was the Battle off Samar where she engaged American escort carriers and their escort. Yamato was sunk 7 April 1945 by US carrier-based aircraft with the loss of most of her crew.
