BATTLESHIP YAMATO was the most awesome battleship that was ever built. She could fire a shell 25 miles. The pride of Imperial Japan's Navy. The colossus of all ships was built just before the harsh realisation that battleships were no longer viable. Aircraft carriers could launch air attacks from a range that Yamato could not compete with. Bismark of the German navy had suffered the same dreadful end. Yamato's end was to be all the more spectacular and deadly.
In 1945 Squadrons of American aircraft attacked Yamato in a sustained attack lasting over two hours. Bombs, torpedo's - again and again -wave after wave of aircraft. Yamato - the giant edifice was turned into a floating inferno. Then she sank into the depths of the all consuming sea.
