Yamato was the biggest battleship ever built and was built by Japan in 1941. On the terrace a nice view of the kure city shipyard could be observed where they built the Yamato and her sister ship the Musashi. Photos: reformatt.com/blog/yamato-museum
There was a scale model present which is a 1/10 scale. It is amazing to how many gun turrets and anti aircraft guns it houses. It is remarkable that the united states was able to sink it of the coast of kyushu the most western Japanese island by an air attack. It seems impenetrable to me.
Specs of the Yamato: Yamato's main battery consisted of nine 18.1-inch 40 cm/45 Type 94 naval guns—the largest caliber of naval artillery ever fitted to a warship. Each gun was 21.13 metres (69.3 ft) long, weighed 147.3 metric tons (162.4 short tons), and was capable of firing high-explosive or armour-piercing shells 42.0 kilometres (26.1 mi).
